Customer Review: every d80 user needs to have this.
this one’s a no-brainer, just buy it, take it out of the box, remove the plastic, and start using it. no thinking required.

not only is this the obvious tool for self portraits or any photos you want to be in, but it proves equally useful in situations where you need the camera to be perfectly still in order to make the shot.

it comes with a little pouch, and the battery is included, it’s a cheap accessory that everyone can enjoy, and it really is easy to use.
Customer Review: Wow, so covinient!
It just works great. So much better than running back and forth to shoot with a timer. Also great for eliminating camera shake on tripod or long exposures. If your DSLR works with this remote, it is a must have. Most problems mentioned by some reviewers seem to me to be the issue with camera. I use it with D40. And though I wish it was more powerful, it works great. I’ve even used it across a small street from the camera.

Plus, D40 gives some options to users how we want to use the remote. In the main menu you can set the “Remote On Duration” to 1, 5, 10 or 15 min. And when you want to turn it on, you press the “Fn” button in the front(with the timer symbol) right under the button for flash. As you hold the button down, turn the Command Dial on the back. As it rotes between several options, you can choose simple remote or “2S” remote where it fires 2 seconds after you press the remote. Very cool. You can press the remote and hide it!

And as someone mentioned, the remote works much better when there are lots of things to bounce off. In my experience, outdoors, the remote didn’t work right behind the camera, but indoors, it worked just fine from the same position.
