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

The product works great. The only down fall with this is the cord isn't very long. But other then that it works great.

If you're into time exposure, micro/macro, or even portrait photography, you can't beat a remote shutter release. I also have the wireless remote, however, if you're behind the camera outdoors, chances are it won't fire. The remote cord does exactly as advertised and nothing more.

The only 2 things I'd change about this product:

1) include a 6' or 12' extension cord to allow you to get a little further from the camera (think sticking the camera on a pole for perspective views)

2) allow the remote to rapid fire - you can't hold the button down and fire continuously like you can with the actual shutter switch.

Other than that - it does it's job. An electronics wiz (like me) can get around #1, #2 is probably a firmware issue (Nikon - are you listening?)

i bought this in june to use with nikon d80. use it to take picture of fireworks. it stall a little, but i found out that it was because most d camera ony use up to 4gb. i was using an 8gb. it works great after i switch out the card. before that i also took it for a swim. after that i took it to utha to take pictures of lightnings. i perform very well even after taking it for a swim.

Bought this as a birthday gift and the receiver was more than happy to get it. He is a fussy about photography equipment and he is enjoying this.
