    Which wireless remote for A700?

    Hi. I have the Sony Alpha a700 and would like a remote. I'm torn between these two

    http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Wireles...dp/B00113G1IA/

    or

    and would like to know your experiences with these remotes/brands. They appear to offer more functions than the Sony Remote Commander Replacement (which is only $30), which has a lot of extra buttons that I'll never use (oriented to using with a TV).

    Your input and experience with these remotes are appreciated. Have a great night.

    Thanks.

    Brandy

    Didn't I answer this? Different forum maybe?

    I use and really like the Opteka.

    Thanks OC. You may have answered on a forum I just haven't seen yet. I posted in multiple forums to try to get a wide variety of answers.

    Does the Opteka support the 2 second delay (for family portraits with me - I don't want the remote in the picture)?

    Thanks.

    It works the same as the shutter button. Just set the camera for what you want. - TF

    Great! Thanks so much for your input! Looks like I'll be buying the Opteka.
