    Remote Control.For K200D, Anyone Have/Use It?

    Hey All:
    Tying to figure out if it's worth the $20.00 investment to buy one off Amazon, I keep asking myself how much would I use it i.e putting myself in pictures with other family members who don't live close by or using it for night time photography (which is rare but would like to do more but just hate carrying an extra gadget) If you have one, do you use it much and for what purposes?

    Thanks

    While I'm not on the same camera as you, once I got it, I didn't realize how much I would use it. In the grand scheme of things, they are small and inexpensive. I'd rather have one than not have one.

    I use it for night shots, any shots with a small aperture and longer exposure time. Any time I have the camera on a tripod I use it about 50% of the time. It eliminates any shake that may be created by pressing the shutter button. And as you mentioned, it's nice to sometimes appear in a picture or two.
    Cheers,
    Greg

    Thanx Xystren,
    Sounds like a solid investment even if I don't use it much. I know I'd use it a lot around Christmas time, with all the night time lights and family shots.

    Say CHEEESE!!!
