Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I rated the product 4 stars because of the price - this is a very expensive accessory. Otherwise, this is a very useful product, if you have the need. If you are out in the field and need lots of battery power, you can either buy a handful of Nikon's special batteries and carry the charger with you, or you can use the MB-E5700 battery pack. So, why get the MB-E5700? Here's a scenario: you are at the Disneyland Park shooting photos from early morning until the park closes at night. The next day, you are going right back again to shoot all day long. Are you going to stay up in your hotel room putting batteries in the charger for the next day's shoot? Instead, you can charge one of the Nikon batteries overnight and load up the MB-E5700 with fresh AA batteries. And, you can buy more AA batteries in the park, as needed. You'll have less stuff in your pockets, too.
You have to remove two parts from the camera to install the MB-E5700. The MB-E5700 has slots to store these parts, so they don't become lost. It takes only a minute or so to install.
The MB-E5700 has a lockable shutter button and zoom control that are intended for use when the camera is held in the vertical position. The shape of the battery pack itself assists with holding the camera in the vertical position.
Finally, the bottom of the MB-E5700 is flat and wide to accommodate placing the camera on a flat surface and being able to take photos with the camera perfectly level. There is a tripod mount as well. The battery pack places the camera a small distance away from the tripod itself - giving more room for handling the camera's controls and looking into the viewfinder.
This is a good accessory for the 5700. I just wish it were lower in cost.
