I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

The link is to a news item about the new product

Hi mchampio. Thanks for this but it has been mentioned elsewhere. If you do a search on "Harbortronics" you'll find several threads about it. Always a good idea to do a search first, as many around here will tell you. I've fallen into the trap myself...once! :wink:

I don't need a battery grip for my D70. The battery sits fairly safe inside the camera and has never fallen out.
Regards

You will be waiting a long time Killa, Nikon isn't going to release a grip for the D70. According to the tech guy I spoke with, there just wouldn't be enough interest even if it were feasible which it's not because it lacks the external connectors like the D100 has....

Boo Nikon.

According to recent sources, they have one atencati... but because of the information telling us that they're cancelling the camera, it's likely that it'll be converted into a grip for the D90 instead.

More interesting is the "cable release" perhaps. Does anyone know how this works?
