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 right the way down until it reads "--", you can press the remote button and the shutter will stay open for as long as 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 so cheap!).
