MB-D80

<p>Will the MB-D80 battery pack work on a D70s? I'm thinking that it won't.</p>

<p>Nikon doesn't seem to have a similar unit for the D7000, maybe because it is new.</p>

<p>The correct grip for the D7000 is the Nikon MB-D11. The MB-D80 grip is designed for the D80 and D90 and I don't believe it will fit or function on the the D70. I don't believe Nikon made a grip for the D70 but there are 3rd party grips available for about $50.</p>

<p>And even when it fits its only a grip and no portraits controls, so very useless.</p>

<p>Just an FYI: The MB-D11 for the D7000 only holds <em>one</em> EN-EL15 battery. The other half of battery pack is for 6 AA batteries.</p>

<p>I never bought an MB-D11 for my D7000, but as far as I know, while you can only put one EN-EL15 battery inside the MB-D11, you can still leave another EN-EL15 inside the D7000 itself. Therefore, you can have two EN-EL15 batteries simultaneously inside the D7000 + MB-D11 combo. However, having two batteries will only serve the purpose to prolong the total battery life; it cannot make the D7000 go faster than 6 frames/sec, which it can already achieve without the MB-D11.</p>

<p>You're right. It won't. :-)</p>

<p>If it did, it would be listed in the "Compatible With" section on this page. It isn't.<br>

<p>Hi Shun,</p>

Do you mean 2 EN-EL15's in Camera body + 1 in MB-D11 = 3 EN-EL15's? How do you get 2 EN-EL15's in camera body?

<p>Eric, one EN-EL15 battery would be in the MB-D11 and the other would be in it's regular spot in the camera body.</p>

<p>The MB-D11 is not like the MB-D80 where you remove the battery and battery door from the D80/D90 body and install both batteries in the MB-D80 - the MB-D80 has an L shape to it. This allows you to remove either battery easily for charging. The MB-D11 attaches to the bottom of the camera and is flat - you remove a cover near the battery door to get to the contacts for the grip. You have to remove the MB-D11 to get to the battery in the body to charge it.</p>

<p>Eric M., I meant exactly what I wrote ealrier. It looks like Jay Poel has already clarified that to you.</p>
