I know, there's a few out there but they serve nothing more than to give you more battery life and a bigger grip.

You can't half-press the button to focus, no command dials and it's useless for taking fast-moving objects because the shutter is released by an IR signal coming from the grip, so when you press the shutter relase button on the grip, it goes like this -> signal gets sent to the IR sensor, camera attempts to autofocous, camera attemps to take a shot, end of sequence. It's too slow.

Burst-mode is impossible with 3rd party grip so it's uselss for sports photography.

Please Nikon, make a damn vertical grip for the D50/D70/D70s.
