I have long hesitated to me for my D5000 a battery grip should be ordered I came up with extra batteries in my camera always been good. The current hunger of D5000 but almost insatiable, so I my fears, the camera might be too heavy for me to handle, forgot and ordered from Amazon the Meike Battery Grip. The delivery was made by return mail. The attachment to the camera was not a problem (how to solve the battery compartment cover, available on the Internet). My first conclusion: the camera is not too heavy, with a lens weighs Although almost 1,500 grams, but it is solid in the hand, can be triggered without camera shake. A message that the camera is not suitable for this type of battery, I ignored, it still works. How long will I now get by with 2 batteries and the number of images with and without Live View so I can "shoot", will zeigen.Die LiveView flap can be moved properly, at least as far as the assessment of the photos is needed. I mean, to order the Battereigriff, was a cost-effective investment that taking pictures with the Nikon D5000 finally gives me pleasure (I wanted the camera that is already "mothball").
