 Nikon 10-Pin Remotes - MC-36 and MC-30 and the MC-20 Alternative April 29, 2006
62 out of 62 found this review helpful
I have yet to use the new Nikon MC-36 10-pin Camera Remote, but I have used the more simple MC-30 10-pin Camera Remote, both of which are listed as compatible with the new Nikon D200 Digital SLR (a departure from the strictly cable release D100 - for better and worse).
The MC-30 is simple and straight forward to use - it is essentially an electrical version of a cable release. I did find it to stick occasionally, but I got used to its feel and minimized it.
The MC-36 is the electronic remote with control capabilities such as timed Bulb shots. VERY HANDY!
Here's the REAL TIP of this review: with both the MC-30 and MC-36 out of stock everywhere, what does a new D200 owner have to do to get cable release? Well, I am using my MC-20 from my F100! I don't know if the MC-36 has more bells and whistles or some fancy digital specific functions, but I have tested my MC-20 and everything works as expected! I did some timed shots in Bulb with no problems.
Though the MC-20 has been discontinued, it is still available used through eBay or possibly your local camera shop. And, probably at a better overall bargain than the MC-30 or MC-36 new (especially with some vendors who do have them charging 50-100% above retail!).

I bought the MC-30 in Japan. It cost me about $20 and was worth it to me. I had recently purchased the D-200 and I've always had problems trying to do long exposure photos with the D-70 so, I bought the MC-30 hoping to have some fun with it.
Out of the box it does three things. First, it works just like the button on the camera; half way down to focus and all the way down to shoot. Second, holding the trigger down will (with continuous on the shooting mode) make the camera keep taking photos again just like the button on the camera. Third, the trigger has a lock on it to keep the button depressed for however long you feel.
There are two things that this remote doesn't do. First, it can't change your camera settings without going back to the camera and changing them there. ( I consider this moot. After I take a long exposure I always look at it on the back of the camera anyways.) Second, it is still wired to the camera. While this will keep you from searching for batteries so you can use it, the cord can still be bumped or pulled and that with ruin your shot.
Overall, I like it very much and it does exactly what I wanted it to do.
 Buy an alternative for $9.00 April 30, 2008

I bought an alternative Chinese-made brand on a popular auction site for $9. It does the same thing and is flawless on my D300. I do not see the purpose of paying $50 more for a piece of plastic that triggers a shutter. While I am willing to pay for quality products when necessary (hence, the D300), I don't see the need for a Nikon branded product in this case.

This is, quite simply, an unvarnished Nikon rip-off. I bought an identical version of this release cable on eBay for eight bucks, shipping included! See link below. Nikon seems to think that once you have bought one of their cameras, you are forever locked in to buying their expensive accessories exclusively. A previous reviewer was quite right. It's just an expensive hunk of Nikon plastic.
