 If you plan to shoot all day with a D200... February 20, 2007

you'll need three of these! The Amazon price for this genuine Nikon item seems to be the lowest available. Generic versions are available for less, but trust Nikon to stand behind its product if there are ever any problems.
great battery January 11, 2007

I've been able to average about 1500 shots with about 40% left on the battery meter. I usually charge the battery at this point. I bought an additional battery as well as the MB-D80 Multi battery pack. And I have found it to be valuable especially when you are out in the middle of nowhere taking pictures and don't have the facilities to charge up the batteries.
Buy this, not an off-brand battery January 1, 2007

The real question is whether to buy the Nikon brand battery as opposed to one of its cheaper competitors. The answer comes in two parts. First, do Nikon brand batteries do the job well, and, second, are independent-brand batteries a cost-effective alternative?
As for the effectivness of the Nikon batteries, I have been using them in my Nikon D70 for over a year. I carry a backup but have almost never had to use it. The batteries have worked flawlessly all this time. I went on a 7-day climbing trip without having to change. The only time I ever ran down a battery in one session was using flash to shoot all the recipients at a large awards banquet.
As these batteries are not cheap, you may be tempted by attractive prices on off-brand batteries with output claims: "1700 mAh!" beyond that of the Nikon battery. This raises the second question, are the Nikon batteries worth the extra money or would an off brand be worthwhile? The answer is clear. With some products, off brands will perform about as well for far less money. But this is not the case with lithium-ion batteries.
For one thing, the off-brand's performance claims are exaggerated. Direct comparisons show that, despite their more modest claims, brand name rechargable batteries actually outperforms their imitators.
More importantly, the off brands put your camera at risk. If a Nikon brand battery were to damage your camera, Nikon would replace both. With the off-brand, you would be out of luck. This is not an idle "what if." Lithium-ion batteries are dangerous if something goes wrong. The batteries (actually battery packs) are full of safety circuits and other measures; that is why they are expensive. And even then, Nikon recently had to recall thousands of lithium-ion batteries due to a fire hazard. If this happened with a recognized company that has its own cameras at stake, what are the risks with a no-name manufacturer that markets a product for an eighth the price and has little to lose if something goes wrong?
Just buy the Nikon battery. It is the only sane way to go.
Good battery for a dynamite camera November 28, 2006

I agree with the last post...the D200 is an awesome machine, and if you plan to do any lengthy shooting, have 1 or 2 spare batteries. It's part of the responsibility of being properly equipped to do the job. I wouldn't go into a shoot without a spare battery or 2, in addition to my other equipment, so I don't understand why anyone would complain about the battery. Additionally, if you stay away from playing with the D200's preview screen for every shot, zooming and scrolling, you'll save tons of bettery time.

works great with the nikon d80. take 100 shots and the meter drops just one bar. flash soaks it up just a bit faster, but the battery life is amazing--review pics and leave your settings LCD on illumination with confidence! with a 2 gig gard, uploads so fast, the meter doesn't have time to drop. i've yet to exhaust it in an evening or afternoon of shooting, so i can't say how many shots it'll hold. still, you always want to have at least one extra with you. only con is, be sure not to lose the plastic cover that protects the electrical contacts.
