Did this remote ordered as a supplement to Alpha 580. Compared with the simple version with only two trigger buttons, is here precisely the possibility to control the camera when connected to a TV. Works very well, finally we no longer rely on the rigid slideshow. The device makes a solid impression, even if it is designmäßig no highlight. One would have imagined the whole thing quite elegant and above all compact. But considering the price still 5 stars. Advantage of some rough design is precisely the possibility of using AAA batteries. As a complement to a Sony camera recommended in any case. But one wonders why Sony something not by default grabs it. Were there even my 7 year old G5 Canon to.
