One of the things that I have always meant to get for my Nikon D80 DSLR was a remote shutter release. It's impossible to take any shots in the dark without a remote or resorting to using the timer to trigger the shutter.
The Nikon remote sells for about $20 and I can’t find one locally. OnOne Software has a new app that is perfect for the DSLR user who wants a remote called DSLR Camera Remote v1.1. The app promises support for Nikon DSLRs and for the Canon T1i/500D.
Two versions are available; the pro edition sells for $19.99 and lets you trigger autofocus while viewing the live view from the LCD and it supports auto bracketing. The lite edition is only $1.99 and simply activates the shutter, which is all I want. The app is available on the app store now.

So just to let everyone know, this app does not replace the IR or shutter release cable alone. You need to hook the nikon up to a computer in order for it to work with this app.
Shane is just going to hate hooking a computer to his camera in the dark.
