NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release (31.5 in) Review

NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release (31.5 in)

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 D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) Review

I bought this camera for my sister. She has taken amazing photos with a point and shoot and needed to step up to a DSLR. This was the cheapest nikon body on amazon at the time (refurbished from Cameta Camera). I currently shoot a D200 and the D60 doesn't have all the features I'm used to. However, it was everything I expected and takes beautiful photos. The lack of an auto focus motor does limit the camera, but the number of AF-S lenses available are continually growing.
The ability to have a 10megapixel sensor DSLR amazes me. You can make HUGE prints from this camera that are pro quality (but the camera itself won't give you the skills of a pro photographer). This body is tiny. Sitting next to a larger p&s its only slightly larger. Only having 3 AF points takes away some ease of use you get with the higher end bodies but they do focus sharp and fast.
My current favorite AF-S lenses for these non focus motor bodies would be #1 Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. It gives the focal length of a 50mm on a film body. Perfect walk around lens and auto focus motor built in. This lens is awesome for portraits and still life.If you can only buy one lens right now, buy this one.
#2 Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon DX-Format Digital SLR Cameras This lens goes from wide to telephoto. You can keep this lens on the camera all day for most people's needs. On the down side, it costs twice the street price of the camera. #3Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. If you are buying a camera system to take pictures of your kids playing soccer, you need this lens. It is tack sharp for outdoor sports and gives you plenty of reach. Its also great for bird or other nature photography. Its a little heavy but much lighter, less bulky, and less costly than a 70-200 f/2.8.
