$36 is fair game for these babies I reckon. if you want wired functionality, you need buy a $7 cable. [in case you don't have a spare CR2 handy for the receiver ]

Nice - looks like the same body as my cheap $20 remote but with wireless. Pity they don't seem to have a D90/D7000/etc compatable cable.

That shouldn't be an issue Rodney. Just have a look at their store...

Pretty sure I did - I searched for wireless and only found ones compatible with some of the other Nikon models.

I want one of these for the D7000, that would be pretty sweet i reckon, especially 38 bucks..

This should do the trick.

Can it do stuff the D7000's intervalometer can't? Apart from the wireless remote bit, of course.

Cheers

Yep thats the one I have (paid $20) - it isn't wireless tho...

From memory (I havn't looked at my D7000 or remote manuals lately) I believe:
- you can set a start delay on the remote
- you can create unusual intervals I think - like delay X secs, take a shot for Y secs then delay Z secs and take another shot and repeat
- you can use it as a remote release (with a shutter hold lock for long exposures) - this works without needing batteries in the remote (at least for the wired remote)
- it's much easier to setup the remote than the intervalometer on the D7000 for quick things - e.g. to do a timed long (bulb) exposure - e.g. X min exposure

What I wish it also had - bracketing (change exposure settings - e.g. Shutter, ISO, Aperture)

Same here. I've been wishing for this for years.
That unit is about $300 currently. Hopefully it will drop in price.

They'll bring it out soon though. I am surprised that they don't have it!

The D7000 can do that as well.

I don't think that's possible on the D7000. Looks like intervals have to be uniform across the whole sequence.

- you can use it as a remote release (with a shutter hold lock for long exposures) - this works without needing batteries in the remote (at least for the wired remote)

That's obviously not something the D7000 can do (by definition), I've already have a $3 cable remote for that.

- it's much easier to setup the remote than the intervalometer on the D7000 for quick things - e.g. to do a timed long (bulb) exposure - e.g. X min exposure

Can't compare the ease of use, since I haven't used the interval remote.

What I wish it also had - bracketing (change exposure settings - e.g. Shutter, ISO, Aperture)

The D7000 does that. Plus flash and Active D-Lighting bracketing.

So, unless one needs non-uniform intervals or finds the D7000 built-in intervalometer hard to use there is really not much reason to bemoan the lack of a D7000 compatible interval remote.

Note by AEB on the remote I mean the ability to do bracketing like the pro bodies - e.g. 9 images at 1 stop intervals or even more 30 images at 1/3 stop intervals

Note I already have the wired intervalometer remote (and prefer it to the built in capabilities on the D7000 - simply for ease of use - especially for the $20 it cost) - my bemoaning was the lack of a D7000 version of the wireless model

I've found a canon version for $35....
