Made some really quick snaps of the two camera with the grips on. I am a little disappointed with the design of the grip. In portrait orientation your right hand has to be set a lot higher than the viewfinder and it is a little bit awkward when compared to shooting with the D. I suppose that this has more to do with the size of the camera that the grip itself.
