LCD is hard to read without backlight. The buttons are too small and heavily recessed which makes it very difficult to press them, even though its designed to make it hard to accidently press, its a little too much. Whats with the minimum setting of 2 minutes between time lapses, thats just silly, if you are lookign to do timelapse at anything less than 2 minutes internals, this won't do it. The remote knows when the camera is busy so it could record as quickly as the camera saves. If the camera powers down, I can't get it to switch back on from the remote, only from the main camera controls. The battery insertion diagram is misleading, I installed the battery upside down first time. ( + facing down is correct ). The big R/F filter is no doubt since nikon got its hand smacked by the FCC last year for emission problems with other accessories ( the 950 AC adapter ). However its the only remote release available if the 2min minimum is fine for you and you don't mind reflashing the cameras firmware ( which you must in order to use properly if you have version 1.0 ) then you are all set, on reflection I'd still buy it since a remote release is a must for steady work.
