    I think the problem isn't about skimping .. it may be more about (perceived) value for money.

    $3K for the camera looked to be damned good value for money ..

    But $500-600 for a $200-250 accessory is a murderous pricing policy!

    it's obvious that a good many folks want such an accessory and I can't imagine how many more sales Nikon could achieve with 'respectable' pricing.


    Nikon D800E, D300, D70s
    {Nikon}; -> 50/1.2 : 500/8 : 105/2.8VR Micro : 180/2.8 ais : 105mm f/1.8 ais : 24mm/2 ais
    {Sigma}; ->10-20/4-5.6 : 50/1.4 : 12-24/4.5-5.6II : 150-600mm|S
    {Tamron}; -> 17-50/2.8 : 28-75/2.8 : 70-200/2.8 : 300/2.8 SP MF : 24-70/2.8VC

    {Yongnuo}; -> YN35/2N : YN50/1.8N

    Agree, Up to about $300.oo I would have chosen the OEM product. I have ordered the Phottix one for mine. Once I have the grip and camera in hand, I will do a little review on the grip.
