 A must have for all D70/s and D50 owners December 7, 2005

Not sure why it's listed as Nikon 4730, but this appears to be ML-L3 in Nikon's catalog...
As a D70 owner, I found this little device invaluable and would recommend it to anyone. The range is good and works as advertised. It's a bargain that is far more useful than you'd first imagine (camera shake, anyone?)
Mixed Feelings on this Remote June 12, 2006

I purchased this remote mainly for taking low light photographs from a tripod without inducing any camera shake.
[+] It was more convenient for me than setting the timer, for the extended exposures where I didn't want to have to touch the camera to reset it back to timer mode.
[-] But at the same time there was definitely a number of times where I pressed that little remote button and nothing happened. It could have been a number of things, but it was frustrating none the less.
[-/+] I purchased this product in a store (authorised Nikon Retailer) and it DID NOT come with any sort of instructions. It came with a very handy little strap pouch to safely store the remote close at hand, but there were no instructions what so ever. This has to have been a Nikon decision (a bizarre one at that) but at the same time, there is only 1 button, and your camera's instruction manual will tell you as much as you need to know about wireless/remote releases.
I do still continue to use the remote but I can't definitively say that I would purchase it again, or recommend it to someone else. For me, it's a matter of convenience for those types of shots that I purchased it for. It would just be super helpful if the camera (D70s) and the remote didn't have communication issues.
Nikon should include this feature with the camera October 16, 2005

This remote works great! I really impress people with the ability to take a picture remotely. Perfect for those family shots where you are trying to get everyone to smile and you have to get in the picture as well. I believe Nikon could sell their SLR's better if they marketed this nice feature.
Tiny, one-button remote for Nikon cameras January 21, 2005

The ML-L3 is a small plastic remote control for Nikon's SLR cameras. There's just one button on the ML-L3; you'll set the control mode on the camera itself (e.g., immediately shutter release vs. delayed shutter release). Just point to the IR receiver on the camera (usually on the front) and press the button. A small, cheap-feeling pouch is included with the remote control.
Reviewer "technology analyst" has it right: Nikon should just include this in their SLR and d-SLR kits, esp. the kits that cost over $500. This remote control is made in China so it probably costs them a couple bucks to make (thanks to the unregulated sweatshops in China!), and they would have generated a lot of good will among Nikon owners and potential SLR buyers.
Maybe add a lanyard April 13, 2005

This remote is great. The first time I used it I was behind the camera, the IR bounced off the wall and activated the camera, because of this I thought for a second it might be RF. The only thing I would add to this would be a hole that you could put a lanyard clip thru; it's so small it gets lost easily. I agree Nikon should figure a way to give these out, maybe make it part of the camera registration process.
