5 out of 5 stars Works as indicated on Pentax S-40   June 25, 2004

I have a Pentax S-40 digital camera and this works as it should. All it has on it is a button. You aim it at the camera, from within 15 feet, and it triggers the shutter response that is set in the camera - immediate release or three-second release, for example. Note that the battery is not user-changeable. However, Pentax claims it can be operated for over 20,000 times before you send it in to Pentax for a new battery for some unknown charge. I doubt I will ever need to do that.


3 out of 5 stars Remote review   March 8, 2007

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 nice

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.

5 out of 5 stars Works great with Pentax Optio A20   April 2, 2007

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.
