Some camera models can still be operated with normal batteries. However, this type of power supply actually only makes sense if you use your camera only rarely. As a rule of thumb, as soon as you have to replace the batteries once a month, it is a good idea to switch to rechargeable batteries - both from an economic point of view and for environmental reasons. However, if this is not the case, batteries are also a good choice. They are uncomplicated to use and relatively inexpensive.

You can simply recharge the batteries when they are empty and get as many spare batteries as you like, which you can carry charged in your luggage and use when needed.

Furthermore, there are also camera models that don't work with normal batteries at all. They are equipped by the manufacturer with a special type of rechargeable battery that is supposed to ensure a particularly long runtime. Then you don't need to think about using batteries instead. Instead, there is another decision to make: If you do not want to do without a second battery, should it be an original battery or a cheaper replica battery from a third-party manufacturer?

So-called battery handles or battery grips are mainly used by professional and working photographers. They have significantly more power than a single battery. This generally manifests itself in a runtime that is many times longer than without the use of a battery grip. In addition, battery grips provide faster continuous shooting rates on some models. With a battery grip on your SLR camera, you are more independent from the mains and save yourself frequent battery changes. Battery grips can be used with either one or two rechargeable batteries or with AA batteries. Many photographers who take their pictures with an SLR camera also appreciate the battery handle because it has a better feel. Often there is also a second shutter release button, so that the camera can be operated just as well in portrait format as in landscape format. Depending on the camera type and battery grip, there are also further controls, such as for the following functions:
This is why battery grips prove to be very practical for photographers with high demands, especially in portrait format photography.
