I have found that Nikon brand batteries last much longer than off brands. That being said, I would suggest that you buy one of the off brands and one Nikon brand, then rotate the usage and test for your own satisfaction.
depending on how you wish to use the camera, one extra nikon battery will last a long day of shooting, I;ve purchased off brand batteries and they last 45% as long and cost 38% as much so there are your trade off's . a friend said, "cry once" cry when you pay the big price for what you want and need and not twice when you say I should've got something else. I have two Nikon batteries and two off brand batteries. I'm happy but likely 3 Nikons would make me happier. heh my first response, tell me if it has any value to anyone,
