I have an old Nikon D5000. This remote does work with that (older) camera. Once I had the camera setup, I had no problem operating the camera using this remote from about 20-30 feet away. It's a little bit nonintuitive to figure out how to get the camera into a mode where it "sees" the remote so I'll tell you how to do it. Don't press the menu button (like you'd think). Instead, on the left side of the back of the camera the bottom button is the "i" (information) button. Press that and then on the screen navigate down to the "S" option and press OK (button in center of joystick ring on right side of camera). Now you get some shutter release options. There are two for the remote. One has a picture/symbol of the remote with "waves" coming out of it, and the other is a similar symbol with "2s" beside it. The first one will snap the photo immediately and the second one has a 2 second delay after you press the remote before the photo is actually taken. The second time I used it days later I had forgotten how I got there so once I figured it out again I took my white paint pen and drew the "i" symbol on the remote to remind me how to get to the remote control option on the camera. But all that is not the remote's fault -- it's just a quirky camera menuing procedure. The remote itself works great. The only problem I had with it is that it's small and slippery so a few times I found it on the ground. Apparently I had put it in my pocket and when I sat down, it slipped out of my pocket onto the ground, where I luckily found it. It comes with a little bag and I looped this onto my camera neck strap so I'd always have it. Unfortunately I can't do that with my small Manfrotto one-touch tripod (which are fantastic by the way) because it's too heavy. So be sure to put the remote back in the bag attached to your strap or you'll risk losing it. To use this remote and have your shot framed properly you'll have to set up the shot with your viewfinder or display screen in advance with a tripod, or sandbag, or some other way of positioning the camera. Otherwise I guess you could always post process the photo with your camera or Photoshop to straighten or crop it.

So simple and perfect
We wanted to take some family pictures with a new camera I got but I had no way of doing it before I bought this remote. We haven’t done a family photo yet but I have done some time lapse shots and this remote is great because I don’t have to worry about touching the camera or moving anything and messing up the shot. You literally point and click once you’re in the correct mode and it works. No problems at all. For reference. I have a Canon 7D I was using this on and I have had no issues. The photo of our tree was one of the time lapse shots I did. The lights change between white and colored which made a pretty cool time lapse effect I think. Anyway. Awesome remote for the price that does exactly what I needed for a great price. So far I have never had an issue with any Amazon basics product. As far as I’m concerned I will choose their brand over most other brands because of the quality of their products like this remote. Thank you Amazon!

Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2022
I’m glad that it came with instructions because I didn’t know what shooting mode to have my camera on.
(Shooting Mode setting, and then Delayed remote setting for anyone else who tries things out before reading the instructions.)
Would definitely recommend
