MC-DC2 Replacement Digital LCD Timer Remote Controller for Nikon D90 & D5000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this remote as soon as I got it just to experiment with it in my nikon D90 a bit and figure it out. Seemed to work fine. Pulled the remote out and put everything away. Later I picked up the camera and noticed that there was a metal plug sticking out of the camera. After looking it over and comparing the plug to another remote that I have that I know works, I noticed that the piece of metal was off this remote's plug. I would not recommend this to anybody. Why would you go out and buy a nice camera just to skimp on the accessories? The camera is fine but remote now has a plug that doesn't work. I'm going to be going back to amazon and try and get my money back.

Satechi TR-M Timer Remote Control for Nikon D90 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product to act as an intervalometer for my Nikon D90 for time-lapse photography. There aren't many products currently that can do this for the D90, as a result of Nikon changing the remote cable connector. You can do time-lapse with Nikon's camera control software, but you'd also need to lug around a laptop and pay $170 for that minimalistic software. The Satechi product was the cheapest remote timer / intervalometer I could find, and its functions seemed to fit what I wanted so I bought it. Overall I'm very satisfied.
Functions
All timing functions work great. When used in full manual with the camera, the timer control can set the exposure time as well. The controls are pretty simple - one look at the user's manual and you'll know how to use the timer without needing to reference it again. If using any other modes on the camera (P, S, A), the remote simply acts as a remote timer / intervalometer. It's smart enough to pre-focus during count-down, prior to triggering the shutter - so for example, if you want to take 1 shot every 5 seconds, the timer will tell the camera to perform autofocus about 2 seconds prior to actually triggering the shutter. One of my initial concerns was that the documentation listed number of exposures from 1 - 399. This is the pre programmed number limitation, however you can also set it to `--` which essentially means keep taking pictures forever. This is the mode I especially wanted since I plan to take time-lapse photos over very long periods of time.
Build Quality
This is the only reason I didn't give this product 5 stars. The build is pretty cheap plastic, the battery cover is a little flimsy, but it's essentially what I expected for buying the absolute cheapest intervalometer I could find. It's very light, so I don't think if I dropped it, it would break. But if crunched in a bag/luggage I could see the screen breaking. It does have an LED light which I thought was really nice to have, since I've been in many low light situations where this is needed.
Connections
This remote plugs into the `GPS' port on the D90. Because of the connector Nikon chose for this port, it's not inherently obvious which way you plug in the cable. This product's cable uses a hard plastic connector, not a metal housing. It is foreseeable that you could force the connector in the wrong way which could possibly damage the pins on the camera. However, I think this is more of an issue of the connector Nikon chose and not so much a cheap connector on the part of Satechi.
If you want to do time-lapse photos, or need a basic remote-trigger timer for your D90 - this is your product. I've uploaded some picture for size comparison reasons - look at the picture next to the can of soda.

Jenis J-ND700-P-B Professional Battery Grip for Nikon D700, D300, and D300s Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This battery grip is absolutly amazing. It will hold two EN-EL3e batteries or four different types of AA sized batteries. It has a timer and intervalometer built into it as well. The small LCD is backlit for night time operation and is powered by a CR2016 battery. It meters the date, year,day of the week, and time down to the second. The D300s bas intervalometer settings in it's menu making the one on this battery grip not needed but, when you actually consider that this grip is 100 USD less than the Nikon MB-D10 and does all of the same things this becomes a must have. You will need this once you realize how quickly the D300s reduces an EN-EL3e to a paperweight.

Due to the convenience of deleting unwanted photos and inexpensive media storage, we take a lot more photos than the film era. Today's digital camera puts a lot of stress and loading on the battery, hence the battery grip becomes an essential accessory to most of us. Jenis battery grip uses the same build material as the original manufacture on all its product lines, to ensure a long time trouble free operation with your beloved digital SLR camera. The build quality and ergonomic not only matches the original equipment, there are some added functions on the higher end products that are designed with the professionals in mind. The extra features are not available either from the original equipment or the other battery grip on the market. The S model (Standard) provides the same function/capability as the original equipment. It can take up to two Li-ion battery or 6 to 8 AA batteries (depending on the model) to provide extra power reserved for longer shooting time. Depending on the camera design, some can also increase the continue shooting speed. There is an extra vertical shutter button to provide easy operation when shooting in portrait/vertical position. The control wheel provides the same functions as the original control wheel with easy access when operating in vertical position. The P model (Professional) has all the features in the S model but with some advanced essential functions. There is a clock which not only display time, but also serves as a self-timer or long exposure shutter control that can provide up to 99hr 59min 59sec delay time/B shutter. The SD model (Super Dual Storage) has all the features the P model has except the remote capability, but adds two extra high speed CF slots for people who like to take a lot of photos on a trip. A larger B&W LCD screen is provided to display some of the important shooting information. The grip also does some basic file operation. A high speed USB2.0 connection is also provided.
