Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control for Nikon P7000, D3000, D40, D40x, D50, D5000, D60, D70, D7000, D70s, D80 & D90 Digital SLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's no surprise that when you stand in front of the camera and push the
button, the remote triggers the shutter. There does seem to be some
confusion in reviews, both here and elsewhere, as to the remote's ability
to focus the lens before triggering the shutter.
This remote is capable of focusing the lens before triggering the shutter.
However, it will not focus the lens if the photographer has already
pushed the shutter release button on the camera half way down to focus
the image or if you are shooting in Manual mode and have AF-C set as
the Autofocus mode.
This means that if you are composing a photograph and push the shutter
button half way down to focus the image and you then stand in front of
the camera and push the remote button, the image will not focus
because you've already pushed the camera shutter release button half
way down to focus. To get the image to focus while you are standing in
front of the camera, compose the shot but do not push the camera's
shutter release button half way down, get in front of the camera and
then push the button.

Nikon MC-DC1 Remote Cord for Nikon D70S & D80 Digital SLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Except for the a little bit high price and shipment fees (which is 30% of its price, btw), this is a very useful accessory for Nikon D70s or other model it can apply on.
For me, this cable is extremely useful when I needed long time exposure in Manual B(ulb) mode (over 30 sec)) for city night views or astronomical shootings. It's also useful when I was waiting acrobats' "only moment": after I got everything setup and made sure they are right on the focus and things are in the depth of field, I just sit and waited and pressed. It provides half-way-down releasing press, but the response is not as quick as the body button so it is necessary to count the lag into your own capture.
The plastic is a little bit "plastic"-easy to deform and leaving scratches on the surface and the cable is delicate too (I accedintally clamped it on my tripod's insert plate and almost peel out the cable coating). But since this is a genuine Nikon accessory, I am confident in its quality.
If you need night photography or leisure waiting capture as I do, this would be a necessity. If you just need something to reduce vibration, use timing shooting mode or the infrared remote control, they are better because the cable will easily get into your way and cause accidents. And its length(1 meter/ 3 feet) is not long enough for you to leave the camera, and not short enough (like 60 cm / 2 feet) to get out of the way. Still, for me, it's worth the money.
PS. It take quite a bit of force to plug it into the camera (and out), and it suggests the camera should be off when I do that, which I often forgot.

NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release (31.5 in) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have yet to use the new Nikon MC-36 10-pin Camera Remote, but I have used the more simple MC-30 10-pin Camera Remote, both of which are listed as compatible with the new Nikon D200 Digital SLR (a departure from the strictly cable release D100 - for better and worse).
The MC-30 is simple and straight forward to use - it is essentially an electrical version of a cable release. I did find it to stick occasionally, but I got used to its feel and minimized it.
The MC-36 is the electronic remote with control capabilities such as timed Bulb shots. VERY HANDY!
Here's the REAL TIP of this review: with both the MC-30 and MC-36 out of stock everywhere, what does a new D200 owner have to do to get cable release? Well, I am using my MC-20 from my F100! I don't know if the MC-36 has more bells and whistles or some fancy digital specific functions, but I have tested my MC-20 and everything works as expected! I did some timed shots in Bulb with no problems.
Though the MC-20 has been discontinued, it is still available used through eBay or possibly your local camera shop. And, probably at a better overall bargain than the MC-30 or MC-36 new (especially with some vendors who do have them charging 50-100% above retail!).

Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Infrared Shutter Remote Control + Nikon Cleaning Kit for D7000, D5100, D5000, D3000, D90, D80, D60, D40x & D40 Digital SLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked at other remotes that sold for less money, but decided to go with Nikon. In testing, the remote worked from 12 feet away in a nearly 360° range, except for a couple of blind spots at the back quarters. A foot to either side found the camera. There was no need for a setup process, except for removing the battery shipping strip, which is clearly marked. The remote worked with my d3000 the very first time I pressed the button. It needs line of sight, but that's to be expected.
The lens cleaning kit that comes with the package is also of high quality. I probably wouldn't use the microfiber cloth on my lens, but it works great for eye glasses.

Nikon MC-DC2 Remote Release Cord for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dedicated primarily for use with both the Nikon D90 and D5000 digital SLRs, the Nikon MC-DC2 Wired Remote has really been a workhorse for me. Unlike hit and miss wireless battery powered remotes, this model delivers my shots each and every time.
Light weight and mounted with a 41" cable, I'm able to fire off quick bursts with just the press of a button. To get the extended exposure shots that I need, I just press and slide the switch forward. Its a good idea to check the camera settings and keep an eye on the cable connection.
My only negative about this product is like its competitors, Nikon opted to outfit its new line of remote cables with thin wiring. I seriously have my doubts that the wiring will hold up over time. I miss the heavier cable.
Like most Nikon gear, there is the standard one year manufacturer's warranty on this product. Unfortunately Nikon offers no real information about their lineup of remote accessories on its website. There is a toll free customer support number posted.
With the exception of the thin wiring issue, I am very satisfied with this remote unit. Its been a performer. Let's hope it can go the distance.

NIKON MC-36 Multi-Function Remote Cord ( 33.5 inches ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I find this remote (MC-36) very useful and well built. I use it mainly for shooting single shots from a tripod to remove my fat fingers from the camera - thus removing camera shake when I would push the shutter release. The shutter button on the unit is large and easy to press. You can lock out all other buttons on the remote except the shutter button, therefore you don't press the Set button by mistake. Battery life seems reasonable. Batteries are not included - you need 2 AAA. Display is fine and has a backlight function. Fits well in your hand.
I wish the cord was a little longer, but it seems acceptable. The cord connects to the camera via the standard 10 pin connector with the bonus of a durable metal screw-in adapater thus holding it in place securely.
For those that want to be crazy, as what is life worth living if you can't be a little crazy, it's programmable for timed shooting where you can program up to 999 shots with 99 hours, 99 minutes and 99 seconds between each shot... of course, I can't think of a reason I would want to do that, but it's cool having the option - and what is life without options? You can get a lot more practical on the timed shooting also, where you can program in any number of shots (up to 999) over the course of any short (1 sec minimum) or long duration with interval times between shots. Programming is straight forward once you decide on frequency and interval times - the decision graph they give you in the manual leaves a little to be desired. The unit will beep when you are 3 seconds from the next timed shot - you can turn it off if you like. Countdown timer to next shot is shown on the display.
I guess if I had a real gripe it would be about the size of the manual. I like to pack manuals in my bag, as I am getting old and I forget. This manual comes in many different languages - all in the same manual. So I ripped out the 9 pages I needed as I didn't want to carry the 60 page thing around due to the weight. If you buy this you will know what I mean when you see the manual. I have no problem with multi-language manuals, but why not include them as seperate by language so I can recycle the ones I don't want and keep only the pages I need.
You want the ultimate captured memories of your kids growing up? Set up the tripod next to the crib and program in a shot every day for the next 999 days and watch your kids grow up on film (or on your hard drive if you are digital). Nice.
Not cheap in price, but very nice in functionality.
Edited 1/12/08: I broke down and bought a D300 (I couldn't resist) and it works just fine on it also. I am still using this remote after 8 months and I am still loving it. I use it anytime I put the camera on a tripod.
