Works for D3100 too!
By missxmary
This remote works with a D3100!!! Check your user manual for compatible accessories! I have a D3100 and had a difficult time finding anywhere that stated this remote was for use with the D3100 explicitly. The MC-DC2 not only works with the D3100 but also provides a whole new range of shooting options for both the experienced and beginning photographer. The MC-DC2 remote is easy to use and, so far, has given me no problems-- construction seems to be solid and the shutter lock has a satisfying feel to it.

A good buy
By Anthony V. Loh
Bought this to use with my D90. There are few options to take a shot without pressing the shutter button of your camera: -

i.) Use the timer in your camera
ii.) Use a wireless remote device
iii.)Use a wired remote device

The main reason of avoiding pressing the shutter button of your camera is to reduce/prevent camera shake/vibration.

Of the three options above, let me break it down to why this wired remote is the best of them all: -

1.) It is much more reliable than a wireless remoted. I have a wireless one but if the angle is not right, you can't also get the trigger. The wireless requires battery to function and sometime, the battery is drained when you needed it the most. The power source of this device is from your camera.
2.) It is compact and light. It will fit nicely in a pocket of your camera bag or your clothing.
3.) It is very easy to use. The connector goes to a specific slot in the D90. Basically, "plug and play".
4.) It is very versatile. If you press the button once, you got a single shot; if you hold it down, you can get a burst.
5.) It has a "lock" feature that allows you to use the bulb setting in your camera for exposure longer than 30 seconds. Otherwise, you could equally use the timer in your camera to reduce camera shake.
6.) It is reasonably priced and doesn't cause you an arm and a leg.

Works perfectly with my Nikon D7000
By J. Gray
I bought the MC-DC2 to use with my Nikon D7000, since the simple wireless remote that I had previously purchased did not allow me to control the camera in bulb mode. The cable release is well-made, and plugs into the GPS port. It works perfectly and is quite useful when in mirror lock-up mode.
