Are there aftermarket batteries, charger and grips that will work with the D850? I believe the D850 will take the same battery as the D5. If that is correct, I assume The Watson EN-EL 18A that B&H sells for $99 would work. BestBatt sells the MH-26 charger for the D5 battery for $73.50 and again I assume it would work. That leaves the grip and my guess is that this one has to be the Nikon MB-D18 grip for $396.95 as I don't see any other aftermarkets available. Any idea how long it will take Vello to come out with one? One still needs the Nikon BL - 5 Battery Chamber Cover for $24.95 and I don't see any aftermarket available.
So to sum up:
Watson battery - $99 vs Nikon $150
BestBatt Charger $74 vs Nikon $370
Nikon grip $397
Nikon Cover $25
= $595 vs $807 retail to get 9fps?
