Default photos-again
Okay, I have yet another photo question.

Does anyone out there use a remote to take pictures? I have looked at several on ebay, but I am not convinced that they will work. I was hoping to find one with a wire so that I know it would get the signal...but at the same time I need for the damn camera to auto focus.
I am trying my best to learn how to take pictures of myself...and the auto timer is great...but I have to reset the thing every time.
Thanks...and hopefully someone will have a few ideas

I have a Nikon D70, a digital SLR.

It's a real pain in the butt trying to get good photos even with a tripod. And then I only get *one* and then I have to go back and reset the thing. I'd like it to take several consecutive photos if possible.

The wireless is less expensive, but after market cords can be found around the web

With the IR remote you can get farther away from the camera. The cable is usually 3 ft. w/o an extension (extra cost IF available)

The only thing I am concerned about the wireless is having to aim it right at the camera. Does any one have any idea how exact your aim has to be?
Thanks

With IR you need to aim-but its not surgery. Think TV remote control.

It sounds like the wire would be good for somethings and the remote others.
To bad they don't make a sound activated one that way I could hide the remote behind my back for some shots too
