This product rarely works at all. I've found that you have to press extremely hard on both sides of the device where the battery is in order for it to properly receive power. Even when it does work, the camera is rarely able to receive the signal for some odd reason, and I end up setting the timer instead.

I got this remote two weeks ago for my D70 and D40 and so far I love it! It's a bit of a pain taking out the battery when I'm not using it in order to save battery life (as suggested in the instructions), hence the 4 stars. Other than that, it's 5 star worthy!

I got this for my wife to take pictures when away from the camera on a tripod. It works great for the auto snapshots (Careful to make sure you are not in them if you have it on immediate snap). My D70 supports timer, and immediate shots via the remote. You have to set the camera up for it by changing the camera settings.
This works great for those prepped shots where you do not want to use a timer if you do it frequently enough. The one thing that I will say is this will NOT function for long manual exposures. If you want to hold the shutter open you are limited to a wired remote (be glad because you would not want to hold this button that long and the wired ones have a lock).
Pros: Great for the quick shots, timer shots, and cheap.
Cons: Can not do long shutter exposures, requires a few presses to work. I forget how to set it up every so often and have to refer to a quick reference card.
I would buy it again for specific applications.

I used it briefly when I got it and allowed the battery to remain in it for a couple of weeks. Today when I took it out to use it again the battery had died.

The remote works great with my Nikon D50, just as advertised & I got it pretty quick after ordering. Would recommend for the nice low price & it's good small size. Use this with your timer/remote setting so you have time to lower your arm holding the remote if you are taking photos of yourself.

I use the D70 and the D80 at work and found it hard to take fine detail macro photos using a very low shutter to capture alternate light source illuminated subjects. This was just the ticket. I was having to use the timer to take the photos which was hard to set in the dark enviornment. The only hitch is that the receiver is on the side of the camera so you have to be on the right side to get it to work and you have to point it at the camera. We have tried several group photos with it and it always catches me with my arm up pointing at the camera, until I used the combination infared timer setting.
