My D7100 concern is the hand grip..its narrow and the ideal place for 'wear' on the camera. Will the snug-it pro skin provide better grip?

Yes..I have one on each camera and not only does it protect the camera it makes it easier to grip and maintain. No regrets here....

It works perfectly and it gives you a better grip. The skin is molded properly and I always recommend to all my friends. It gives a real better protection on the wear and tear of the Camera body.

Do not worry about hand grip. I had one few months ago. It provides good protection and nice hand grip feeling except a small part witch inserts in flash.

The rubber is textured and your fingers do feel less likely to slip off because this kind of rubber is more slip resistant that the non-rubber camera parts. The skin also makes the grip thicker, but not in a bad way. It can be taken off easily so you can use it only when you feel you are going to bang the camera around. The only problem I have is that the buttons are only marked with impressions of the original markings and not white. This only presents a problem in the dark and as I become more familiar with the camera the problem becomes less of a concern. After you smack the camera into a hard surface for the firs time you will order it, that's what I did.

I think it does but, it takes some getting used to. I have one on my D7100 but not my D7000. I like the feel of the grip better too, but my 15 year old son doesn't. He shoots with a D5100 and doesn't want one.It's kind of like having a rubberized cover on your phone or no cover at all... preference.

yes, it helps provide better grip and also protection from scratch and moisture.

I have the Nikon grip now. Like it but the thing is not sturdy.. it moves. no way to tighten more. I am about to return it and wait.

Yes the special edition Siler come with the grip. I bought one 3 months ago. This camera makes Nikon's d7100 look like a toy

No it will not fit the D7100 the size of the D7100 is 136x107x76 mm whereas the size of the D7000 is 132x105x77 mm. The case is a correct fit on the D7000 with no extra room to spare.With Rgds.

It's a snug enough fit on my Olympus, smooth, but sure, there's friction. If you're feeling a snug sort of friction, that's basically what you want -- not a loose feel. If it's a rough sort of friction, I'd be a little concerned about some flash or burrs on the lens mount. I do not feel that when mounting the 7.5mm... it's actually on my E-PM1 at this very moment.

It did not work for me but others seem to love it. I found the fit too snug. It was too easy to accidentally turn the camera on when I was putting it in the case.

hi, crystal i have very small hands and have no problem with this camera size at all... the side grip is perfect. it is weighted nicely. enjoy tina penna. Sony alpha 300x Sony f828

I don't think so. The Sony case is snug w/o the grip I was informed. I love the combo and personally think the RX 100 is sufficiently grippable (at least for my hand).

An excellent grip but when fitted, the RX100 does not fit in the Sony leather case. I tend to leave the camera in its case for casual use and fit the grip when I am intending to take more than a couple of opportunistic shots.

I bought the grip before the case but did not attach. The grip does not fit with the case.My opinion, the case adds just enough extra bulk and has some texture that makes the grip unnecessary.I always shoot with the small camera strap around my wrist as an added protection from dropping the camera. And most important for me, the case adds the protection I wanted.

Not Nikon brand. I use my camera as a professional (full time studio use). It works ok, just not the same feel. I have had true Nikon grips for our d700's in the past. Bought this grip thinking that I will most likely purchase a d800 later this year and this was a little savings on accessories.

There should be no problem keeping the grip on the 70D all the time. You may want to remove the battery tray if the camera is not being used for a long time.

With the grip base on, its not too much bigger. Its the same size as the lens base b4 the lens extends wen u turn it on. The only hesitation I had wen I bought it was that it covers the bottom, which is bad and good, cause u gotta take it off wen taking out the memory card or battery or using the hdmi port, but being its such an expensive camera it also protects it wen u put it down, so that part is very good. Overall, I like it a lot, makes it more comfortable to hold.

No. The shape of the cameras (D7000 vs. D7100) are different enough that it won't line up properly.

You cannot use the case with the grip attached. The case fits snug to the camera. The grip is 1/4" thick.

Dr. Marty, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this grip, especially versus the Canon version. I was hesitant at first buying an aftermarket item for my Canon. I have been a loyal Canon user and have many Canon products for DLSR and video. I bought the Neewer grip and the 3 compatible Wasabi batteries, in addition to the Canon battery my camera came with. It has increased the shooting duration exponentially. (Note: Some people reviewed the Wasabi batteries as marginal or not lasting. I have been using them for 6 months now and they keep a charge and supply ample power.) Sure the grip is a little bulky, protrudes slightly out from the camera body, and may make it cumbersome for some camera bags, but I also purchased an Ape Case 2000 to accommodate that and the fit is excellent. If your shooting video, you NEED the the battery to back up the shoot. Having spares on hand helps. Having a grip with dual batteries is the answer. Bottom line, you should not be disappointed.

Yes and no. :) I have a Nikon d700 with a battery grip and it does fit. But, it isn't 100% down in one of the compartments...the flash area and hot shoe do stick up a little above the little dividers and push against the padding on the top. But, it doesn't cause any issues, or hasn't so far. Hope that helps.... :)
