Is it worth getting the battery grip for the D300?

    If you want 2 frames faster and a vertical grip I would say yes. With the great battery life of the D300, I wouldn't get one for extended battery life, just another battery. It's one of the few add ons that actually upgrades the camera from a pro-summer camera to a more pro type camera, almost.

    Do you want to carry a second battery? Do you want to be able to use the more powerful D2X/D3 battery? Do you shoot in portrait format a lot? Do you shoot with large telephoto lenses a lot?

    Well, I do alot of portrait (not necessary actual portraits) photography, as I do alot of sports photos that look better framed that way--- and that was the original reason that I started looking into it.

    But as john68 said, if it does allow the camera to be more powerful, that is an intreguing aspect of it as well...
