Default I created a MONSTER! (Pics)

UPS man treated me well today






What is this? A BOX FROM HEAVEN!?!?

















JESUS It's big!









The batteries are ****ING HUGE (2-3 times bigger than the XT battery), and they tell you how charged the battery is, sweeeeeet





Just for the hell of it, a shot of my editing station to test out the 10mm shot, got an issue? Take a tissue.








This is gonna be fun!

LOL, nope, never had that proble, I love it... although I wish there was a battery meter, it SUCKS when you run out of batteries at 3am and don't have any AA's

I got a Nikon D200 for graduation, and the 18-200mm VR lens. I am loving all of the options. I will take a long time to use all of them.

Curious about the extend battery you got. Do you do a lot of extended shooting? Or did you get it for grip reasons?

Both, but mainly because I may shoot 500-1500 pictures a day and swapping batteries sucks.
