Advantages: Forget Camera shake, well, almost. Disadvantages: Can be a little fiddly
If you didn't get one of these with your Canon, and are serious about photography then it really is a must have.
The good thing about this remote is it's dual function, not only will it allow you to perform a shutter release but it will also allow you to take advantage of a 2 second timer function; without having to return to the camera.
Canon have also made the RC5remote, which, whilst it is slightly bigger and a little more comfortable to use, doesn't give you the option to pick between timer delay, and simple shutter release.
This remote will easily give you a good 5M range, although I tend to use mine standing next to the camera when it's mounted on a tripod, simply to remove as much camera shake as I can. Obviously the windy weather can also contribute to camera shake, but I dont think they have invented a remote ...
Advantages: Small and light, perfect for carrying around. Very easy to use. Disadvantages: Battery compartment is a little fiddly.
those you don't get to see very often.
• Who's the ML-L3 Nikon remote for?
The ML-L3 Nikon remotecontrol is very easy to use and is ideal for any level of photographer.
Made by Nikon, it works with the Nikon D50, D70 and D70s digital SLR cameras (and some websites say it works on the Nikon F65, Coolpix 8400 and Coolpix 8800, too). Each of these cameras has an in-built receiver for the remotecontrol so no other equipment is needed. I've been using mine with a Nikon D50 and it works a treat.

I chose to buy from Amazon where it was £11.99.
• Vital statistics:
Designed with a lightweight black plastic casing, the remote measures: 2.4 x 1.1 x 0.25 inches (6 x 2.7 x 0.5cm). It arrives in a small box with no instructions so I was glad I kept my camera manual.
Mine came with its ...
Advantages: Easy to use and robust! Disadvantages: None found yet
This little device is brilliant! It opens up so many more doors for photographers. It allows the photographer to take pictures from range with no wires trailing whatsoever and from a range of around 5 - 10 metres at least in my experience. It is compatible with the D80, D50, D70, N65, N75, and F65 (http://www.slrtoday.com/articles/148/1/Going-Wireless-with-the-Nikon-ML-L3 -Wireless-Remote-Control/Nikon-ML-L3-Wireless-Remote-Control.html) and is incredibly 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 ...
