Least expensive remote for Nikon D200Strengths: well made, work well Weakness: price This is the least expensive option from Nikon to control your D200. There is no need to buy the much more expensive MC-36, because MC-30 works just as well and most of options built into MC-36 can be controlled from the camera itself. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

MC-30 Remote CordStrengths: Works well on the D300 Weakness: Expensive I upgraded from the D80, so I had to purchase a significantly more expensive remote and it is not wireless. This cord works well on my D300 and gives you the opportunity to take many more shots than with the self-timer alone. There are a lot of off-brand wireless and wired shutter release systems that are much cheaper, but I only trust Nikon. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Nikon Remote Shutter Cord Simple to Use on D200 But...
Strengths: Simple, easy to use, also has a locking mechanism to keep the shutter open when desired.
Weakness: Expensive. Can be difficult to find available for purchase, like many of the Nikon D200 accessories because of huge demand and small supply.
This is Nikon's own brand of remote shutter cord, and this model is the simplest and least expensive of their remote cords that fit the D200. It is still very expensive. It is quality-made, however, better than the no-name 10-pin brands, although I would bet they work fine too. There is an optional extension cord, but I find the length of the original cord is sufficient for my uses, which is photographing flowers. You can't use any of the old-type remote shutter cords that used to screw into the camera shutter button, because there is no longer a hole there for that purpose. Instead there is a 10-pin connector hole on the front of the camera. I wish Nikon had devised a little cord to keep the 10-pin connector cover from being lost when it is removed to use this 10-pin remote cord, because the cover is very tiny and easy to drop.
