Very handy little thing

Advantages: Easy to use and robust!
Disadvantages: None found yet

...simple to use. On my Nikon D50, all i have to do is hold one button and swivel the dial a couple clicks and there, all set up. This allows the photographer to take photos of close up wildlife from a distance (so that they arent scared by some big human). It is also handy when it comes to astronomical photography. When the remote mode has been activated and the shutter speed turned right the way down until it reads "--", you can press the remote button ...
...until you press the remote button again - no timings whatsoever. You can determine the time the shutte is open. It is also very robust. I managed to drop it in a stream where it sank for a few seconds before i fished it out. I then threw it to my friend to dry off and he missed it so it crashed into the concrete path. It was perfectly fine - needed a little drying though. I highly recommend this item as it is so easy to use and yet so useful (and ...

Review of Nikon ML L3 Infrared Remote control for Camera

Nikon SB 600

Advantages: Easy to read clear LCD, Light weight
Disadvantages: Limited Flash Range

...using this flash on my Nikon D100 & have since bought a D200 both using the same Nikon 24~120 VR Lens. The focus zoom function works on this flash, by works I am saying you can hear something but I have never noticed the difference when I have it switched off. On a more positive note, Power management is great. I just leave the flash set in the default STANDBY mode & never turn it off. It turns itself on magically whenever you need it, and goes ...
...Flash (get it ?) when you want it. Exposure compensation may set at the camera or the flash. The flash goes from -3 to +3 stops. If you have both the camera and the flash set, you get the TOTAL of the two settings. That means if you set the camera to -1 and the flash to +1 you get the same as leaving them both alone (they cancel), and if you set both the camera and flash to +1 you get a total of +2. I don't know why you should want to do this & ...

Review of Nikon SB 600 Hot-shoe clip-on flash

Nice addon for your Nikon

Advantages: Long exposure shutter lock.
Disadvantages: No autofocus

...was included free with my Nikon SLR camera. The retail price of this is around £54.99. The Unit ####### You know your getting a quality product when you hear "Nikon" - they have been in the business for years, and are one of the most trusted companies when it comes to photography. As the name suggests it's only suitable for Nikon cameras. I have the Nikon D80 and it works perfectly with it. One side of the cable inserts to the side of the camera ...
...enough for you (80cms) then Nikon have made available an extension cable. This can be purchased separately for around £45.00 for a length of 3m. In my view this is really expensive as the actual unit is £54.99 ! Disadvantages ############ You can get other much better remotes for half the price, which have the additional autofocus. Really here all you are paying for is the "Nikon" brand name. ...

Review of Nikon MC 30 Cable Remote control for Camera

Battery flattery

Advantages: reassurance of Nikon brand
Disadvantages: generic equivalents are cheaper

...of this battery is that Nikon provide a small snap-on plastic terminal cover so there's no risk of the spare shorting and discharging in your bag or pocket. It's best not to lose this cover because the terminals of this battery are flat and exposed, however in my opinion this is a good thing, my previous camera had a battery with its terminals secreted inside little holes. OK, this meant you couldn't short it on your keys or change or whatever but ...
...pocket. Most Nikon camera buyers are not going to worry about saving ten quid on a spare battery but it's worth noting that you can buy cheaper generic equivalents on well-known battery web sites. Personally I tend to stick to Nikon batteries as they are a fraction of the price of the camera and the heartbreak of your battery expiring just as that beautiful sunset comes to it's climax is just too much to bear. ...

Review of Nikon EN EL1 Lithium Ion

Top Spark

Advantages: Battery life, price
Disadvantages: N/A

This Nikon Battery was supplied with my Nikon D80 camera, which I purchased several months ago. Size & Weight The dimensions are 5.5cm in length, 3.7cm in width and 2cm in height, which is perfectly fine, it isn't especially large and it isn't especially small. I can't tell you the weight exactly but it isn't too heavy and won't noticeably weigh your camera down. Price The price is approximately £20 but you can find it for less if you look about ...
...said, it came with my Nikon D80 Digital SLR and so I assume it works with most if not all of the Nikon Digital SLR range. Overall I rate this battery very highly. The battery life is brilliant, I haven't had any issues with it. The price is highly reasonable. No complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend. ...
