I used to think that too but, I am sure that, like me, you would take a different view if you faced the prospect of paying £190 each for genuine batteries. Given that this amounts to around 20% of what I paid for the camera (D4) it represents very poor value. I use three third party batteries that together cost less than £100 and work perfectly as far as I can tell.

I recently bought a third party charger, mainly because it came with an adaptor to allow EN-EL4 batteries to be charged as well, it cost £44. The Nikon adaptor costs £139, if you can find one.
