Your favourite feature of the D850?
#76
Here I am a bit unwilling to test, if a EN-EL18a or ...b works with cheap grips. I also don't need 2 extra frames at this kind of costs - when you sell a camera the grip is a welcome present for the buyer but worth close to nothing.

Second, the grip doesn't add real function value to the body. No extra batterylife (except with EN-EL 18), no extra plug, not even the possibility tp charge the batteries in the brip and in the body. As I already said a couple of times before, FujiFilm sets a steep standard with grips: more functions, AC adapter included and also working as charger, more capacity and better design (in terms of stability on a tripod). While the price relation of body / grip is like 7:1 (Fujifilm) or 23:1 (if you buy grip and body together), Nikon demands at first the same (roughly 7:1) but has no package to offer. AC-adapter goes separate. And the bigger more professional battery at least needs a charger, too and a spare battery. The whole experience of +2 fps will cost 1/3 of the body when using genuine accessories. I made bad experiences with Chinese copies years ago and have no wish to repeat them. That's my answer to "why not a Meike grip?"

Also I like to use a tripod much oftener than I need higher fps. And if laready the Nikon grip (at this costs) makes the whole setting less stable, a Chinese cheapo will not be more stable.
