It's silent, comfortable in the hand, and the build quality is outstanding. Truly a high-quality product that matches the fit and finish of a Nikon dslr. It plugs into the gps port on the Nikon D90. Press it halfway down, and the autofocus is engaged. Press it all the way down, and it trips the shutter. It's a very dependable shutter cord that I can fully recommend.

Really small, light and fits well in the hand. Well built. I would really recomend this to anyone looking for a shutter cable. Works with Nikon D5000.

I purchased this remote from Amazon a little while ago and it works fine. I just looked at the entry this morning in preparation for writing a favorable review and see that what's pictures is different from what I bought and the price has doubled.

I think what's happening is that different off-shore plants are making these and looking at any review is likely to get you feedback for something that is at least cosmetically different from what you will get.

Inside, all the inexpensive corded remotes are essentially the same thing. Two metal "fingers" that actuate the half-press and full press shutter functions. They all also allow sliding the switch upwards (once it's been fully depressed) to keep the shutter open.

My suggestion is to make sure the remote you order has a cord that's long enough (3 feet is good), has a low total cost (price plus shipping), and the merchant accepts returns for defective merchandise (always true for Amazon, not necessarily so for Marketplace sellers).

In the end, the remote I got, which was ordered from this page and a little different from the one pictured, works just fine!

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've gotten from other reviewers and continue to return the favor as best as I can.
