Is it good to use a battery pack?

[weijing]

Hi everyone, just want to ask whether is it good to use a battery pack for a D90.

It really depend on why you want to use it. Can you tell us more on what you are intending to use it for? Faster cycle time, or just plenty of juice and no need to change batteries?

if you need it, yes
if you don't, then no

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't attach a batt grip to my cam. I even tried to epoxy it to the body! :sweat:

Lousy camera! :angry:

If you shoot events for long duration of time, good to have extra battery power. if just casual shooting, without pack is more comfortable.

Normally "Battery Pack" referred to the Flash instead of body. Which are common know as vertical grip instead.

It is called battery grip not battery pack. Battery packs are external power for the flashes and battery grips are external power for the cameras.

i dont understand all the gibberish

OPPS sorry everyone is battery grip.

It really depend on personal. I attached the battery grip to my D90 and never take out again, cos i like it very much especially when i shoot vertical.

Take note that it will make your camera more heavy. If you jus want extra power can just buy a extra battery in stead of a battery grip.

Might be useful for overnight star trails or making time-lapse videos. You don't want the battery to die on you halfway while during that 3-4hr wait. My 2 batteries got drained after 6.5hrs of continuous shooting sessions.
