The "S" shutter button works great. But the "W/T" zoom button I can't use on my lenses. They don't have motorized zoom controls. So the unused button is OK with me; as long as the shutter button works. One final note is that if you have a Batterry grip for the Pentax K10D, it has a remote control compartment for a remote. But this one doesn't fit; it's way to big. Oh well.

Not much to review here. It's an infrared remote for Pentax cameras, and it does what it says on the box...at half the price of the equivalent Pentax remote. Of course, it's a bit larger than its authentic cousin, but still small enough that you can't really tell you're carrying it in your pocket.

Bear in mind that the zoom button will not work with DSLRs, as these are zoomed via a manual ring on the lens. However, just having a remote shutter release is extremely useful when shooting from a tripod. Despite the title of this product, it probably works with most of Pentax's line up of point-and-shoots. It certainly works with my Optio.

The Infrared Remote Control for Pentax works well in front and behind the camera up to 15 feet at instant setting as well as at 3 second delay as per the Pentax K10D camera setting and the manual. When you want to be included in the picture, you can enable autofocus in remote control by selecting Menu> C> AF in Remote Control on your K10D and say cheese and click the S button on your IRC. The only thing that doesn't work is the W/T button which really doesn't matter to me and it is not the remote control's fault. The W/T button is a telephoto adjustment button that would most likely work on point and shoot cameras like the Pentax Optio which have an adjustable telephoto knob though I can't confirm this. If you can't afford to buy the Pentax remote controller for your K10D then this one will do just as well. Satechi shipped the IRC as soon as I requested it and it arrived in three days. They have been good and honest.

Could never get this to work with my Pentax D camera.
I sent it back, then re-ordered and still would not work

This remote I got for my K10D Pentax was easy to get going for my camera. The seller was very quick with processing and having the device shipped out! Plus the price was the best I could find!

This simple two-button infrared unit does exactly what's it's designed to do - zoom and trip the shutter of your camera, and does it very well at a great price.

this is a nice and affordable control and works with no problem with my Pentax K110D.

It works.. The w/t button does NOTHING... but who cares.. the thing was cheap.. and light. Honestly probably would have prefered to buy the pentax brand remote or a "wireless remote". Wireless costs more but you get a lot more distance.

I would suggest this product to a friend.

It does what it is supposed to. I just wished it worked in B (Bulb) mode. Haven't had much use for it yet.
