ML-L3. Only problem is if someone else is also using the same remote, it will fire your cam if both of you are nearby. But chances are rare. Can cosider the wired one. Chk out the link I gave you? You can go down to the shop & take a look

Okie. Thank you. Can u help
me with the cleaning sensor
thingy.
I set my D90 sensor cleaning program to start/shutdown clean, after setting it i on and off it to see if it cleans. But I not sure abt it as it didn't say any cleaning in progress. Unlike canon 50D it will. Please verify. thank you.

hehehe selling off my D80 kit and buying the D90 body only involved an additional outlay of about $150, which I felt was worthwhile.
I really like the 3" LCD with the info display, and more customisable WB when shooting in JPG.
Not forgetting the cleaner images at high ISOs.

Now kena poisoned to upgrade ballhead...

It is good to replace self-timer. But the camera will turn off the remote sensor after the short preset period (max. of 5mins?) of time. Not very practical for shots that require a long waiting period. Have to reset the remote on the camera a few times during one of those occasions, before I got the wired cord.

I got the wire cord too - but one thing for sure... there is no delay for the mirror slap if you use the remote cord... ML-L3 does allow one second delay after the mirror slaps up before opening the aperture. That one second allows the mirror slap vibration to disperse as much as possible.

In my opinion, do not completely discredit ML-L3 - that is one strong point against the MC-DC2 cord... (I have both, btw)

P/S: D90 does not have the mirror-lift option apart for strictly cleaning purpose...

If dust is on the external glass of the viewfinder just blow from behind.
If dust is on the focusing screen, you gotta remove lens and blow upwards to the focusing screen.

blow with blower hor, not mouth

*clap clap clap clap* :bsmilie:

Thinking of that also, but looking at Photo Clam as well - PC40NS (bigger ball - 40mm, bigger load - as an insurance), an in-between size between Q3E and M10.

It wont affect ur pics mah.. Have to live with it, i wil be more concerned if its in my sensor..

If it really bothers u, guess need to send to NSC for cleaning (some delicate work requried in removing the viewfinder so better leave it to the techs there)

You need the ir remote still, for no stop self-shot cam whoring.
