The picture shows this on a Nikon D5000. The LCD folds out from the bottom. Is this really for the D5100, LCD folds out from side, or is that a typo?

Like Christopher, I also have the D5100 LCD folds out on the side and it also fits it perfectly. For the $9 it adds a lot of protection against weather, and if you have large hands if makes for a more sure grip. Not that hard to remove, either.

works fine on my 5100, battery is on Bottom and easy to open and change. Makes it easier to grip.I do not understand your question about the LCD. Both the HDMI/Mic/GPS/ and AV out control on the right side, and SD card door on the left side are easy access.The camera back swings easily. So I guess it may be a typo. I am just a user, and do not work for the manufacturer.

The cover perfectly fits for Nikon D5100 but I dont know does it fit on D5000 or not.

It's for the 5100 it fits good except for where the battery in all that meet it's a little loose it does flip out from the side not the bottom

$3,000.00 cameras are not maracas and should not sound like one when in motion. Clearly, there is a loose part somewhere. My advice? Return it. I have been using Nikon for over thirty years and after the D800 fiasco I will sell and move to the D5, with not much regret, as Nikon's customer service and respect has really suffered.

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

The Legs DO fold out further, so that you can get lower to the ground. If you want to get lower, what you can do is slide up the middle piece all the way up, it comes out. Then you can flip it upside down so that the camera is now between the 3 legs. Sure your photo will be upside down, but that's what the rotate function is for in your photo editor.

The part that attaches to the camera is rectangular. The part you look through is round. For my wife's camera, a D5100, it caused a vignetting effect that resulted in a loss of viewfinder area. It already has only 95% coverage and another 5-10% loss wasn't acceptable. If your camera has an articulating screen, you may not be able to open and/or close it with the Eyecup on. It was well made and blocked light very well. Although we sent ours back, if the two issues I mentioned are not a problem for you, I would highly recommend it.

I have one and it hooks up nicely as described. It obviously solves a serious problem with LCD only viewfinders in any kind of bright light condition. It's extreme, definitely defeats the main feature of a small camera with a large sensor, the rear lens could be made finer, but the cost is low. Therefore, I mostly use this item:RainbowImaging LCD Pop-Up Screen Hood Cover for Sony E-Mount NEX-5 NEX-3 NEX-C3 CameraIt helps protect the LCD, folds and unfolds instantly, while retaining the camera's overall size, it fits in the camera case! I'd get both, oh wait, I did... I have one and it hooks up nicely as described. It obviously solves a serious problem with LCD only viewfinders in any kind of bright light condition.

I got my d800e and the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was the rattle. I held the strap rings and shook the camera and found out it came from the flash. I posted about it in another forum and was told it was normal and indeed it is because it's from the metal support that holds the flash up. No need to worry. Only thing to worry about is the left AF issue and the 10-pin connector going limp on you :).

Hey all! I am also extremely interested in the upcoming Zeikos battery grip for the D7000. I connected with customer support through the Zeikos website (much like @graceful did) and they just informed me that their development department will not have this product ready until the end of April. This is a real downer. Another full month without an alternative to the overprices MB-D11 option.

It could be that a tiny obstacle has entered your camera and caused this, or that the mechanics of the cover have been compromised, or that there's a glitch in the 'computer' workings of the camera. I have seen this in many other makes and models, and if your warranty doesn't cover it then try to manually move it one way or the other. Most likely a spring came loose. Bummer, though.

I have the D5100 and it doesn't fit that model because of the LCD screen that swivels.

I'm having this problem with a DPF D80.It's a big problem because it was bought as a gift for elderly relatives, I took it out of the box to load it with some photos, and I MUST now get it back in the box. But it won't go as the stand won't close.

Hi I would not waste my time &gt;&gt;&gt; I have tried sending in letters with my D300 and lens . All they did was replace parts in lens and sent a real nice letter saying they could not recreate the issue , Thank you for being a Nikon user. Now my D300 is back with nikon for a focus screen replacement as it has scratches on it . Not on the pictures , you can only see it in the view finder drives me nuts. I believe that they are not going to do anything untill they find a fix, If they admit that there is an issue sales would fall badly. All i know is that the users that have the DBS are not bragging about how good of a camera it is. I would not touch a D300 now if they payed me .

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.

Gosh, I really wouldn't know how to answer that. I have the original (ole') GF1, the GF5, the GX1, and the G5 - none of which have the issues that you mentioned. Additionally, I had not previously heard about that LCD issue and I tend to post and read on quite a few photography forums. All I can say is that I've not experienced this at all - and I have two GX-1's (one with the 14-45 OIS on it, and the other with the 45-200 OIS). Ben

My D40 developed a blurry line in the middle of the viewfinder after about 2 months (or maybe it just took me 2 months to notice it). It doesn't affect the photos, just the viewfinder, but it is a little annoying at times. I'm guessing it's a warp or something like that in the focusing screen. Since I take most of my photos in the Summer and Fall, I don't want to part with it for another couple of months, but after that I plan on sending it in to Nikon to have them check it out while it's still under warranty. It really hasn't been a big deal, and the camera is great in spite of it, but I would like to make sure it's not going to get worse.

There is a small hole located near the edge, top center. This hole is designed to go around the eye of the internal camera. You may have yours installed upside down or it may be partially covering it. If partially covering, you should readjust it so that it is not. If the hole is on the opposite end of your camera, you just need to remove and flip over. However, in removing and flipping over the protector could get dirty, in which case, I recommend disposing current protector and installing a new one.
