D3100 wireless remote?

[Tanya Kurnik]

Where can i find a wireless remote for my nikon D3100??

As far as I can tell, you can't get a wireless remote for the D3100. Strange considering that it's available on the D3000.

Dont know why they done it tbh,my d3000 and d7000 both use the same remote,have you looked for a wired one

i did see non wireless. maybe that will have to do for now. so which one should i get? the d3100 is still pretty new, maybe thats why its not available?

Nope, the D3100 does not have the ability to work with an IR remote built into it. It's wired or apparently there are a few ebay type options of things you can plug in and then use for wireless.

I was looking hard at the D3100, but when I saw that it didnt have the remote it was a deal breaker for me. I've decided to save for the D7000 instead.

I asked about this at a photo store after I got my camera, they said that the D3100 does not have a wireless remote, only wired one. BUT you can buy something (can't remember what it was called, cost about $100) that you plug in, and then can use a wireless piece with it. I was rather disappointed as I just got a wireless remote about a month before I upgraded and was finding it very useful.

The wired cable from Nkon is called the MC-DC1 Remote Release Cord. Around $30.00. It's only one meter long and designed for releasing the shutter during long exposures, so you'll still have to run to get into a group shot!

If you were planning on going Strobist, anyway, just get some Cactus V5s or Yongnuo RF-602/603s. They also double as shutter remotes. You plug the receiver (or transceiver) into the cable release port, you use the transmitter (or transceiver) as your remote shutter button. The half-press works just like it would with a cable remote. AND, unlike the proprietary remotes, you don't have the line-of-sight and range issues you would with infrared.
