  Battery pack, but frankly it's a bit too pricey. And appears it would clumbersome to use. Especially in the horizontal position as the viewfinder is in lower postion. Anyway, the whole idea is to have more power available vs the battery pack which comes with the camera.
  
  Just make sure you buy NiMH 2300-2000 AA batteries.
  
  Great concept, but a bit too expensive, Nikon needs to price it more like in the $75 dollar price range, but consider extra battery packs cost only $42, well. You can see my point of view.
  
  You can buy alot of battery packs for $170 bucks.
  
  If you get one of these, make sure you post a review and what type of photography you do.
  
  

• Great concept, but...

  I am a new owner of a Nikon 8400 camera (a great item, by the way). I like the MB-CP10 Battery Pack for taking vertical photos. It adds body and convenience to the camera. However, I was disappointed to find out that it is not a supplemental battery. The user must either use the camera battery OR the CP-10. So, if you are using this item for taking vertical pictures...understand that you will only be using the "AA" batteries, which burn up pretty fast.
  
  

• At these low prices a great accessory

  I didn't like the original suggested retail price and put this off purchasing more essential accessories for my Nikon 8400. Wa-La! The price drops 50% or more, cheap-o bucks and I did it. Actually, its only a battery pack, but when that special Litho battery dieds or no replacements are around, slap in a set of the ever common AA's or AA rechargeable batteries and I'm back in business. I also like the additional shutter release for vertical photos and the extra heft in weight it gives the camera. The battery access cover needs to be twisted off (very easy) to allow the CP10 to slip into the 8400, but they have a storage spot for the cover so it never can be lost or left somewhere. All said in done, I'm glad I have mine. Again, especially at these prices.

  Here, in Canada the price of battery replacement for my Coolpix 8400 camera, is high, and the battery is hard to get in camera stores.With the purchase of the Nikon MB-CP10 pack,I can use easy to get alkaline cells, or rechargeable ones, very easily.The camera weights a little more, but I dont have to worry about getting power for my camera.
