If you buy the D-700 this is a must have in your bag. Best thing that I have bought to have in my camrea bag.
By Pier
It is well built, it integrates very well into the camera (I have a D700), it feels solid and I personally like how the camera feels with the grip both for vertical and horizontal shoots.
However, take care of those few things:
1. If you just want to add a EN-EL3e battery, you can do that but to recharge the one on the camera, you have to remove the grip, because with the grip on, you can not have access to original battery
2. If you want to use the high-speed capacity of your camera, adding this grip (on D700) you need to but other parts... first of all you need another hi capacity battery like EN-EL4 (1900mAh) or EN-EL4a (2500mAh), then you need a new cover for that battery (EN-EL4/a) called BL-3 cover. Once you have all of those things, how do you recharge the EN-EL4 or EN-EL4a? You need another specific recharger (that won't work for your "old" EN-EL3e, so if you travel you will need both chargers or take just one type of battery) called MH-21 (or MH-22 able to recharge to EN-EL4/a batteries at the same time). If you buy all those stuffs you will spend about (Jan 2010 prices) $250 for the grip, $112 for the EN-EL4a, $39 for the BL-3 and $130 for the MH-21... total you will spend about $531 for the full package, which could be fine but just be aware about that!
Go to 8fps with AA batteries: you can do that buy they will last about 4x less than the EN-EL4a and when the charge starts to reduce, the camera won't go at 8fps...
Globally it is a great addition to the camera, it just look overpriced to me,
Good luck with your choice!

It has excellent build quality and matches well with my D700. Without it, it's so hard to work with longer and heavier lenses. With it attached, D700 feels much better balanced ergonomically and this becomes particularly so in portrait (vertical) position. The max frame rate also becomes reality.
But one weakness is that the direction switch is not as smooth as the one on the camera body. And added weight to camera even without lens and battery is more than that of D3s that I also use.

This batrery gives my camera more shooting time with the AA battery. I do not need to worry about battery dead problem. It is a must for serious photographer on a major porject.
By Charles Valenzuela
Lets me use the same EN-EL4 battery as my D3s so I only need one type and one charger. The AA battery tray was the real reason that I purchased this. You can't always find a place to charge a battery but they sell AA batteries at the Timbuktu Gas & Grocery, so you will always have the power you need, when you need it. This is especially true when you need a backup battery but didn't have time to charge the thing. A set of lithium AAs will store for seven years and always be ready when you need them. Max frames per second are available on AAs too as well as when using the EN-EL4 battery.
Removable when you don't need the portrait grip or additional battery capacity to keep camera size and weight to a minimum. As sturdy as the camera body and a very good fit. Certainly better than the old L shaped MB-series (MB-D100 & 200 especially) which were impossible to pack and a real pain to install.
