Re batteries - I thought that I had seen that newer Nikon firmware now sometimes stops the use of non-Nikon batteries. AFAIK that was in relation to the D3100, and I'm not sure where I saw it though (Google suggests http://www.dpreview.com/articles/2823420050/nikon-updates-firmware-for-d3100-d3200-d5100-d5200-p7700 and http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52527090 I think)

I used 3rd party grips on a couple of Canon dSLRs in the past, they appeared to be direct copies of the OEM part and I never had an issue with either of them - I'd happily go that route again should the need arise in the future.

@DethBeard
Are 3rd party battery grips worth it?
I have a D7100, and the official grip is rather expensive.
Ive seen 3rd party ones for cheap (£30) worth a punt or not bother?
Also, batteries, im more inclined to buy a genuine nikon, but are 3rd party ones acceptable? Any recommended brands?
