Message: <blockquote data-quote="seaspirit" data-source="post: 1589811" data-attributes="member: 65889">OK, I question the 2 Raw/s statement. My D300 will shoot the 5-6 Raw/s, at least till the buffer is filled up and it slows down.  Still I get a minimum of 2-3 s of rapid fire if I need it.  I recently put a "battery pack" on my D300, but I call it a vertical grip. Very useful to have a 2nd set of control wheels and trigger in a ergonomically more pleasing position when taking portrait format shoots.  Since one gets consistantly >700 frames from a battery charge the option of a 2nd battery is nice but not essential (having a 2nd battery on hand is, depending how trigger happy you are).  Only drawback is the added bulk that makes it tricky to fit everything into the bag .....  CheersUlliP.S.  The grip is a $90 Hong Kong knock-off that was discussed and recommended elsewhere here in the forum, and I have to agree with all what is said there.  Good quality, firm and snug fit, everything works just fine.</blockquote>
