would the bower have like a shutter delay or something? or misfires? or is nikon expensive just because it has the nikon name on it

this. If you have nikon, dont stray away from it, cause you're automatically taking a risk. If you're tight on money nad not really care then you prolly should get the cheaper one, but if you plan on getting good use out of it, go with the nikon.

So I would run into problems with non nikon stuff. And well yeah I'd rather spend 60 than 140. Thats like a full week of pay

A battery grip wont make your photos any better.

Also.

Media and arts if you actually want an answer.

thank you despite for an always useful comment on a thread about anything to do with cameras. like someone else said a while back, you talk a lot of shit considering the quality of your photos.

I love how bent out of shape you always are. Its almost delightful how ironic your posts are too. I swear you follow me around and call me out on "useful comments," while contributing nothing yourself.. look at your posts dude. If he actually posted this is M&A I would of told him exactly what he wanted to hear.

just the fact that I posted in the wrong one on accident doesn't give you a shoutout to bring on the hate.
