Pros: Simple, reliable, easy to use, works well.

Cons: Seems overpriced, Multiple Cord Lengths.

The Bottom Line: for basic control of the Sony Alpha Digital SLR or the older Minolta Maxxums, this control is a time tested answer to the mail.

from Shopping.com Pros: Simple, reliable, easy to use, works well. Cons: Seems overpriced, Multiple Cord Lengths. The Bottom Line: for basic control of the Sony Alpha Digital SLR or the older Minolta Maxxums, this control is a time tested answer to the mail. from Shopping.com ALSO, after I bought this, I found that there's a third party (Opteka) remote for about 1/4th the price. If only I'd see that earlier, I'd have saved myself some money. This is indeed a good piece of equipment and is actually made by Sony so no complaints. But there's something which is functionally good enough (if not quite as pretty) and I being of a thrifty nature would go for that instead. from Amazon.com I have to say that I regret not having done more research before ordering it. There is a model that is made by Opteka that sells for $15 only. That is $45 cheaper than the sony. It is supposed to do everything that this little piece can do. from Amazon.com I have quite a tremor in both hands making smear-proof photography rather challenging. So I decided, on a recommendation from a professional photographer-friend, to try the remote control. I found that most all of my pictures taken with my Sony Alfa 100 are now on a tripod. The control works perfect and the length of the cord is short enough not to get tangled in my equipment. from Amazon.com Product arrived on time. It is about 2 feet long cord that plugs into the Sony Alpha with a button to activate the shutter. It allows for the halfway down effect that the actual shutter button performs. from Amazon.com Along with a good tripod, this is an absolutely indispensable accessory. Particularly if you're interested in achieving profession quality results with slow shutter speeds, a remote shutter release is essential. from Amazon.com Before you spend $$ for this remote, make sure that you really need it. It's good if you're using your tripod a lot and also if you work with slow shutter speeds. from Amazon.com I didin't realized how long this cord actually was. I have found great uses for it and it;s a benefit for nighttime shooting. from Amazon.com I have quite a tremor in both hands making smear-proof photography rather challenging.
