Advantages: Small, instant and 2 sec options on Nikons
Disadvantages: -

...this remote control for my Nikon D40x, which according to the man in the shop it is the only one available for the my camera. Long gone are the days of physical remote shutter releases, modern ones like this one are infra-red. The ML L3 is Nikon only. As you can see from the pictures, it is very small, works outside fine and has a decent range. One thing I particularly like is the way the Nikon uses it, you can set it to release the shutter instantly, ...
...a picture rather than risk moving the camera as I press the shutter release on the body. So there you are, there isn't much more to say except go and buy one! It's cheap, works, is fun and will get you all together on more pictures. Essential Nikon kit. ... Read review

Advantages: One remote for all of your electronics
Disadvantages: loses programmed settings from time to time

I have had this remote for just about 5 months now. I've had to reprogram it atleast 6 times. I still can't figure out why it keeps losing the codes, the batteries are strong. I had no problems programming it with my TV, Cable box, DVD player and VCR.

I got mine for 9.99 at a Dollar General store. It sure does save time and confusion from having to operate 4 different remote controls and keeping track of them all, plus the price of good batteries! ... Read review
