 - Tack SteadyThe Nikon MC-DC1 remote along with a good tripod allows rock steady photo shooting. Works great. Rating:  - Not So ThrilledThe tiny USB connector snapped off after a few uses, it bent when I set camera down and then just weakened from there. I am getting one of the angled USB connector models and suspect that will resolve that issue... Rating: - Nikon SolidLike anything else made by Nikon, this remote shutter release works well and is a quality product. I haven't had a chance to use it too much so far, but the little that I have used it, it's worked flawlessly. A must for long exposure shots. Eliminates camera shake when triggering shutter. A welcome addition to my D80 set up. Rating: - Works Great! MC-DC1This is the best accessory that I got for my Nikon D80 as far as stopping out-of-focus/blurring for long exposures and night-time photography. This and my ML-L3 has allowed me to really begin taking great night time photos (long exposures) as well as sunrises and sunsets with great exposure w/o movements. Works well for portrait shooting too. Shot the 4th of July fireworks with many great shots and pictures that were great and clear. This also worked wonderfully well when I went out and shot water/movements using the MC-DC1. I set up and then fired away using the unit when bracketing. Nice just shooting and not looking through the viewfinder all the time. I carry my unit in my pocket when I go out shooting, even without a tripod. I even shot holding the camera in my right-hand looking through the viewfinder and firing the MC-DC1 with my left-hand with great results. I focused and did everything I needed (AE/Locked) and fired with great results at slow speeds. You can hold the camera with two hands and still fire the MC-DC1 with little inconvience and very little camera movement caused by pressing on camera. Practice and see what I mean. You can also lean on walls etc, but if you can't, this is an option. It has become undispensable in getting focused shots in many situations. By the way, I had no problem pluging into my D80. It fit snugly and I had no problems disconnecting. My hobby has gotten to be even more fun. Highly recommend this unit. Price is great too. One problem is that the product could be made more durable, but it still deserves a 5-star rating. Rating: - Nikon MC-DC1 RemoteI found the Nikon MC-DC1 Remote very useful. It made it much easier to hold the camera still.
