Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control for Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D80 & D90 Digital SLR Cameras

This isn't a long review, just to confirm that this remote control works with the D3000 and works well. It works very fast, which is important for certain uses, and works about ten feet away.

This device does what it's advertised to do. 1) you set your Nikon to "remote", 2) compose your shot, 3) click and voila... you have a picture without camera shake artifacts. You must have a remote shutter control if you're planning on taking night shots without flash or long exposure shots. However... there is one very anoying detail: the device doesn't seem to work well from behind the camera. You'll have to keep pressing the buttun until you find that sweet spot where the infrared sensor on the *** front *** of the camera is aligned with the remote; i've used it for only a couple of days and I already missed a few "perfect shots". Now that I learned the trick, I can work it out... but still, very annoying. Also, the device is too small and too light; it's easy to loose, and hard to find in your packed camera bag. All in all, you still have to get one of these; I wish there were more options out there, though.

This remote works well right out of the box (battery included). It did take me a couple minutes to figure out I had to change the shooting mode on my D40, but since then the remote has been working great. Very convenient and I like that it will activate the shutter from any direction (including from behind the camera). Easily worth the money.

We chose this product to take with us on our trip to the Canadian Rockies (we wanted pictures of the two of us while hiking). It worked most of the time, but you need to be fairly close to the camera and need to have a direct line of sight to the sensor. Overall, it's just ok.

This product is good for your nikon cameras and is really easy to use. Simple button for taking pictures. Only down side is that there is only one button to use. It's the only wireless remote from nikon for most of there cameras and I wish there was more of a variety.
