Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control

Customer Review: Perfect Tool for 365 Shots
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been working on a 365 photo project since February of 2009 and I found myself encountering difficult shooting challenges. For those of you not familiar with 365 shots, the goal is to take a self-portrait of sorts every day for a year. The shots can be part of your body, face, finger, shadow, etc depending on who's rules you follow.

Anyhow, arm's length self portraits and perfectly synchronized self-timer shots get really old really fast. This remote was just what I needed! I shoot with a D80 and the 18-200VR lens. The shutter release offers me so much more freedom with my shots. I especially like the timer delay release when I push the trigger and it goes off seconds later, not sure if that is unique to my camera). This gives me the opportunity to point the remote at the camera and then stash the remote out of view.

Shutter release time is pretty speedy when I push the remote buttom. Sometimes I have trouble juggling the focusing process when using the remote. I can pre-focus by depressing the shutter release halfway or adjusting the manual focus and then firing the shot with my remote. As far as I can tell, the remote will not initiate the auto-focus mechanism on its own, too bad. This can be troublesome with self portraits when I am the subject that I'd like my camera to focus on. I also I wish the remote did not have to NOT have to be in a direct line of sight with the sensor. Sometimes my long lens gets in the way.

Overall, I have been extremely pleased with this product and I would recommend it to all my friend with compatible cameras. It is small, lightweight and very easy to use. It has vastly expanded my composition opportunities. I even at times will hold the camera in one hand (in some precarious way that doesn't allow me to press the shutter release directly) so then I fire the shot with the remote. It works like a dream.

PROS:
small, lightweight, easy to set-up and use, decent response time

CONS:
needs direct line of sight to fire the shutter, focus is only possible from the camera body itself and not the remote
