I bought a Phottix remote for my D200, now use it on my D300. Great bit of kit, works just as it should and looks pretty good too.
I got mine from Ebay, they come from Honk Kong. Look here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Phottix-Cleon-Wireless-Remote-N8-for-Nikon-D200-D300-D3_W0QQitemZ170288866524QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_ Cables_Cords?hash=item170288866524&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318)

Phottix one works great on my 200 and 300.

The Phottix Cleon N8 is pretty good.

Too be honest though, you can't beat the feel of a genuine Nikon MC-30 remote though. I much prefer the "plunger" type MC-30 release rather than stabbing at small buttons which you do on all the 3rd party units.

You must be extraordinary bored to bother to quote that!

Seriously though, I personally much prefer the "plunger" type, feels much more tactile to me.

I think that "stabbing at small buttons" is a way OTT complaint.

And yes, I have a virus,am housebound and I am bored ****less...........:bang:

I'll be adding one of them to the wants list then, some jessops vouchers will be in my hands on Thursday and first thing i'm thinking of is a tripod, like jontymo!
