The battery grip on the Fuji does change the feel of the camera but only if you are using it all day and dont want to be bothered with frequent battery changes. No improvement in handling IMHO except the battery last longer and you can set up to use the grip battery first so when that is low you battery change so the internal XT1 battery is a backup/overflow. There is a D750 battery grip I am sure. I always found the Nikon battery grips to be a worthwhile extra. D750 battery grip.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meike-2-4G-Wireless-Remote-Control-Battery-Grip-for-Nikon-D750-as-MB-D16-/271905984775?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4edc1107

IMHO the D750 doesn't need a battery grip ...to help with holding...the deep grip affords that more than other Nikon bodies.

Interesting. I havent seen or touched a D750 so I dont know. The D810 would be good but it has too many MP for daily use. The more I use my D600 the more I like the 24MP rather than 36MP or 12MP.

JK: The D810 would be good but it has too many MP for daily use. The more I use my D600 the more I like the 24MP rather than 36MP or 12MP I think you make a good point there JK. My recent bird photography has showed up quite a few of the downside of the D810. Mainly images blown up from small portions do not look nearly as good as I thought they should! There is noise and grain there and sharpness is not what it should be. But as stated in above lack of sharpness is more down to poor focus so I hope I am getting on top of that. I will keep reporting in this link as I gain more experience of this very difficult branch of photography.I hope to go down to the reserve again later this week when this much needed rain goes away.

I would be interested to see a side by side comparison of D810 and D750 but this is difficult especially with bird photography. I am tempted by either a D810 or a D750 but I need to really test the Fuji XT1 with the new firmware thoroughly before I make any decisions about new gear purchase.

The D810 produces landscapes and studio photography almost as good as you can get with any DSLR today. But the camera is perhaps not the right tool for high speed action and very high ISOs. Compare this flight pix using the much faster shutter speed and 9 point focus and battery grip MB-D12. See previous flight pix, this shot was taken on same day as above gulls.

I am still working hard at my project and learning more. This is one of my latest better efforts, birds posing great but too far away so this is only 1/3 of the D810 image and pushing thing a lot but the A3+ print is not too bad! Sharpness still not as good as I would like. Getting to know some very serious photographers on my weekly trip to Titchfield reserve. One man at this session with new Nikkor 500mm F4EA AF-S FL ED VR on a D4 body. The new lens costs £8149 compared with the previous 500mm at a modest £5890 that he traded in for the new lens.He also said the new lens is sharpest he has ever had and lock on focus is best ever in speed. ( I think I saw him drive off in a very nice Merc!). He kindly let me have a go and it locks on very much faster than my set up. He also agrees that 9 point is as far as you should go and even that is hit and miss. Best pin sharp flight pix will always be if you are skilled enough with single point.

Oh dear. Seems like Graham is going to raid his pension pot for a new 600mm f4 AFS VR or the 500mm. Graham dont forget to say a swift thank you to George Osborne and remember to collect back the VAT  It makes it so much cheaper.
