Kilted backpacking

no meter where you go kilt is the pleasure.

I'm willing to bet all the newer digital whizbang Nikons have better ones.

They have. For the D40-D5000 series you can use a cheap infra-red remote control, costing no more than about $25, I guess - in Denmark a little bit more - and for the more expensive D300-D3x you'll have to use an 8-10 times more expensive remote control. Thinks are connected, you see. The expensive one works just as well as the cheap one, but you have to mount a device on top of the camera as well and thereby the expensive one is more complicated to use.

IIRC, the only two SLR Nikon bodies not to have a self-timer, other than the special NASA F bodies and some of the rare high-speed Nikon F series bodies, were the Nikon F3P and F3 Limited series bodies. They also don't have a cable release socket. I own the F3P version (actually am on my second - first is shown in my avatar pic, barely visible, tho). To get around the limitation, I wind up using a MR-3 remote release button with a cable release, attached to the motor drive that's mounted to the body.

Getting back to the original pics, looks cool. Hiking/backpacking is best done with the kilt (and, yes, insect repellent).
