Remote controller for D80 Anonymous
I ran out of in-camera options with this one. Nikon produces two types of remote shutter controlles, a wireless and a corded model. Which one is better?

Of course a remote would be nice when photographing fireworks etc (it was a mess last time without one).

Those copies work fine. I know someone who has a Nikon with one just like it. Probably came out of the same factory. You might be able to find it even cheaper than that.

You can even get ones with programmable timers and little screens on them to set them up for exposures. I got one from some company called "apature" or something similarly misspelled like that. Turned out better than I had expected and half the price of the official equivalent.

I remembered the name now. Try looking for a place called "Link-Delight" on eBay. Some of their remote cords are about $10 with free delivery. They also have the more exotic ones.

That would be handy, not needing to watch the clock yourself. I'll need to look at this remote stuff more :P

I also found a 52mm -> 67mm step-up filter ring, made from metal, $1 new. With that I could use a 67mm polarizer with all the glass I own (70-300vr, 18-70 kit, 50mm 1.8), and not needing to buy separate one for my 50mm.

I've got one that I can set up for time-lapse photography too. I can set it to take a shot every two days for a year or whatever madness I fancy.

$6 shipping though!

This is MADNESS

Buy a Time Machine, you can buy plug ins that let you activate the camera by things like audio sensors or motion detectors (for taking pics of animals etc)

For me, I don't want to go as far as those sensor set ups though. What I've got suits me well and it doesn't take up any more room than the other remotes and is easy to use.

Might be something for those specialists in wildlife to be able to set up a camera at a burrow or something. It's a bit more expensive than I want to invest in yet.

google up "universal remote nikon trigger"

you can buy several different models of universal tv remotes (3 or 4 bux?) and program it to trigger your d80 with VOL +. hell, you might even have the remote in your house already.
