5 Stars Hey Amazon! Wrong Photo for this item! This is ML-L3, not ML-3
This is a very handy accessory for my D40, especially for tripod work when using longer exposures, full moon shots, etc. to avoid camera shake or vibrations. Although it does need to “see” the IR port on the front of the camera body, I’m able to use it by holding just below or to the side and barely in front of the body. Could probably rig a small mirror on a flexi-pod to bounce the IR from behind the camera if really necessary.

Five stars because it works perfectly as advertised at a very reasonable price point.

The photo shown here (as of 10 Mar 2009) is for a different product, the ML-3, which is for the higher end cameras, as listed on Nikon’s website:

Fortunatley, the user-submitted photos are for the correct product.

5 Stars Great little accessory
Received this recently and have to say it’s a great little accessory to have! It works well from both the front or the side. So much easier than setting the timer, and running to get in the photo. Very easy once you figure out how to use it. The only complaint I have is, it came with absolutely no instructions, and it took a while of searching to figure out how to use it. I’m using a D40, but it’s probably the same for most nikon digital slr’s. To set your camera, Go into the menu, go to custom setting menu, then to shooting mode (where you set multiple frame shooting, singe frame, etc.) And select the little remote icon, or the 2 second delay remote icon, easy as that, once you know where to look! This has to be done everytime you turn your camera on to use it. The setting will go off when the camera is turned off. Once you learn to set your camera up you will love it!

5 Stars One of the best things about the Nikon System
The ML-L3 is Nikon’s wireless remote control. It has one button, for firing the shutter. It’s an infrared remote, so you have to point it at the front of the camera, but it’s a piece of cake, whether you’re in front of the camera or directly behind it. I recently bought a spare (just in case) for my first one, which continues to work on a single battery after two years, at least 8,000 photos, and an accidental run through the washer and dryer. When I first got it, it felt a little light and flimsy for my taste, but don’t be deceived. Do you own a Nikon DSLR, up to a D90? If you do, just buy this now. Five stars.

3 Stars Doesn’t Measure Up to the Promises
This remote is okay, but it does NOT work from 16 feet away [at least in my experience...perhaps it's the battery ]. But if you want to do time/delayed exposures with your Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens “D” series cameras, you’ll need one…and I do so for my night photography.
