When using the MB-D10 with the D300, you find that it is a great improvement in the MB-D200 (the D200 vertical grip). For one, it is magnesium alloy, and is much more robust. It is also weather sealed like the D300 body. It fits nicely and firmly, with the D300. It also has a further multi selector, which is a great feature added. MS-D10 (holder for AA batteries) also comes in a bag of very nice. Of course with this improvement is the increase in price as well!
If you want to reach 8fps on the D300, you can use the EN-EL4 / a battery with your MB-D10 or AA batteries (8 pieces). The ability to use AA batteries is a real plus point. Imagine having a long trip in which they can not have access to charge your battery EN-EL3e. Having the ability to use AA batteries means that you can bring a bunch of them and still be able to shoot ... even in the depths of the desert.

Another advantage of the MB-D10 is that it is L-shaped, which means that it can easily slip into your camera bag and pull it out when you need it. To mount the outlet is not necessary to remove the battery from the camera and marry the adherence to the camera, such as how the D200 + MB-D200 is designed for. Not occupy all the space and not as embarrassing as the handles are shaped L. This versatility is one of the MB-D10, but also has some getting used to.
Here are some areas that either you love or hate or take some use to obtain:
1. The battery in the camera does not need to be removed to use the grip. So, for those who leave the grip on all the time and want to use 2 batteries at a time, would mean that it would be necessary to remove the grip each time you want to remove the battery in the camera. It would be nice to exchange two batteries without having to remove the plug, but the design is such, and that we should live with it. What I decided to do is to remove the camera battery and just use one of the MB-D10. Also, you can get a lot more shots with the D300 that the D200 for the same battery charge.
2. The shutter button for the MB-D10 is a bit 'too sensitive, which means that you can easily take the hit. The sensitivity of the shutter of the camera and the grip is different, so when you change the orientation of the camera, you must be aware of the sensitivity so that you do not accidentally take a shot that you have no intention of doing so.
3. The MB-D10 can take the EN-EL4 / a battery. However, the battery for EN-EL4 / a not part of the package, and you must purchase separately. The battery cover is BL-3.
