Digital camera reviews of Pentax Remote Control F for Pentax Digital Cameras
Digital camera Review: Pentax IR remote Control
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice and small remote control for Pentax digital cameras, it seems to work with any Pentax Digital Camera. It works with both of my SLR's and my Point and shoot. More than I expected. Extremely small stores in the aux base for my K10D. No batteries to replace. Digital camera Review: Works great with Pentax Optio A20
Summary: 5 Stars
I really wanted a camera that had the remote control functionality.
It gets boring if when traveling alone all your pictures are of empty landscapes or buildings and one can't even take even a couple of pics of oneself in front of the lens... and the self timer is a hassle. Or when traveling with a friend and you can't take good pictures of you and your friend together. And forget about asking someone passing by: the few times i've bothered they rarely manage to take a good picture.
I searched far and wide for a pocket camera that has as an accessory a remote control. And finally discovered the Pentax range of cameras. I'm a loyal fan of Canon, but few of their cameras do have remote control functionality (e.g. SLR Digital Rebel), but i was looking for a pocket camera.
So i decided to purchase the Pentax Optio A10 - because of the remote control. But I'm very happy with my purchase. The quality of the pictures is very good.
Note: the best way to check if any given camera has the remote control option is to go to the manufacturer's website, and download their electronic pdf manual. E.g. go to the Pentax website, select the model, and select download manual. For older models not listed, try the search text box.
Digital camera Review: Remote review
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the remote does what it says I have 2 problems with it. First it does not focus first then shoot like the on camera button. It shoots when you press it so you have to focus manualy then you can shoot remotely which kind of defeats the purpose. Second is it's almost too small, it would be real easy to lose and they should have put some kind of eye for a chain or something. The other remote with an attached cord works normally so I actually use it more. A wireless remote that allows focus would be niceDigital camera Review: Handy gadget
Summary: 4 Stars
This remote is small and easily carriable. It functions smoothly. It does exactly as it is advertised.Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed to
Summary: 5 Stars
This device does exactly what it's supposed to - not more and not less. Very easy to use and does not need installation. The only thing that I sometimes forget is that you need to put the camera into a certain mode.
