  An optional battery pack is not normally necessary - it just gives you longer shooting capability before your batteries die. For everyday shooting, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. In fact, it just adds more weight to your camera body. Just pack an extra set of batteries in your case, and you'll be fine.

However, for such things as "event photography," especially weddings, a battery pack, along with a spare, WOULD be somewhat mandatory.
