Nikon Wireless for D200 Finally Hits the Streets

The long delayed and much anticipated WT-3A has finally hit the stores! But wait! You of course will have to spend just a little bit more as the range of the new wireless transmitter for the D200 is ten feet. Let's see, I have been shooting tethered with a 10 foot cord and that cost me 8. dollars USD. The WT-3A weighs in at a hefty 599.00 USD. If you want a greater than 10 foot range, feel free to add on the antenna at 119. USD.

Lest we forget, all this wireless has a cost. Where there were once two slots for batteries - rechargables of course - there is now only one. I wonder if the camera will draw less power with a wireless transmitter on board? I think not.

According to sources, the WT-3A was delayed due to F.C.C. approval which can take some time when we are talking about the growing wireless trend.

You can find the NIKON WT-3A here and the NIKON antenna WA-E1 here as well.

Nobody said it would be easy, but nobody said it would be this hard either. Grand total for gadget = 717.90 + s/h . OUCH! Get out the extension cord please!
