Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control

Perform as described

Strengths: Small and good enough for reasonable distance

Weakness: Can't use it for more than 30 sec of shutter speed

Very easy to use. Just one button does it all. Operating distance is good enough--about 10-15 feet. It can also use as shutter release to reduce vibration, but it can only perform "bulb" for 30 sec due to camera (D70s) limitation. Use shutter release cord (MC-DC1) to perform longer "bulb" duration.

Nikon wireless remote ML-L3 for D-70s

Strengths: Light weight and very easy to use with convenient carrying case.

Weakness: Can be easily lost due to its size.

Very nice wireless control for Nikon D70s. There is no need to point it directly to the camera. It can be bounced on walls or pointed at the camera at various angles. You can't use it if its inside the case (unless you are 1 foot or less away from the camera). This remote control is very reasonably priced and a "must-have" for owners of Nikon D70s. Once the camera is set to receive the remote...

Great accessory for sharp photos w no shake

Strengths: Quiet, very small, really tiny, reasonable price, includes battery and small case

Weakness: Range limited to about 15 ft, operation can be difficult from behind camera to fire shutter

This little remote is my answer to the lack of a cable release on (most) digital cameras ! I had only been using the timer on my older point and shoot digital camera and the timer on my new Nikon D50 SLR digital camera, when I finally decided to get this remote for the Nikon. I'm glad I purchased the remote, it's worth the price (I paid $16.95 online, a good price, it is higher at some other...

Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote - Simple But Effective

Strengths: Small but not too small.

Weakness: IR (should've been RF)

I bought the ML-L3 wireless IR remote shutter release for my recently purchased Nikon D50 dSLR camera. I enjoy making virtual reality interactive panoramas, both cylindrical and full spherical and primarily use the remote to help minimize camera shake while acquiring the images. The ML-L3 is small - only 60mm long by 28mm wide and 5mm thick. The pictures I saw on the internet gave me the...

cool gadget

Strengths: works as advertised...small...good distance...inexpensive

Weakness: doesn't work through clothing

this should be included with every Niko camera...works as advertised...use it for long exposures so that there is no camera shake when you press the shutter release button. Very inexpensive, you can't go wrong for $15. I haven't tested it's distance, but from 10 ft. it works great.

Handy thing to have

Strengths: Allows you to shoot a photo from a tripod without having to touch the camera. Combined with the timer on your camera you can use it to shoot self portraits without rushing to get into the frame.

Weakness: It would be nice if it was effective from discrete locations (like a pocket).

This is a must have accessory. You'll get some great candid shots of kids by fooling them. Cost-wise you can't go wrong, just be sure to shop prices, they seem to vary quite a bit from retailer to retailer. I found them between $17 and $40 for the same exact product.

battery and snyching issues

Strengths: It seems to work well, now that I know how to make it work.

Weakness: Having to point the remote to the front of the camera.

I bought this device about a week ago. When it arrived, it wouldn't work. I discovered that the battery included in the remote wasn't the same battery that my Nikon D40X manual says it uses. Nikon insists that it uses a CR2505 battery (as best as I can tell, this battery doesn't exist). Anyhow, the battery isn't the problem. The problem is that there are no instructions (in the camera manual or...

D70 remote

Strengths: Small size, small price, great function

Weakness: none

I have used this unit for a few months now. It is a great accessory to the D70. Works well, and with its small size it can be carried easily.

Good Product

Strengths: IR is excellent - works as expected

Weakness: Required to be in front of camera or some means of refection to operate.

This a good accessory and is necessary if using a slow shutter speed to avoid camera shake. The only problem is having the sensor on the front of the camera. You must have some type of reflecting surface to use it behind the camera. It will also need to be shielded from the lens if you are using an IR filter on the camera.

Works great

Strengths: The IR has a better range than I expected

Weakness: It would be nice if it used radio waves so you didn't have to be in front of the camera

Overall this accesory is a must for your Nikon D70. They should include it in more bundles. The D70 combines a romote function with remote+timer to make self portraits great. I would highly recomend this to anyone.
