The D50 and D70 don't have actual cable release option, but you can use an IR remote to trigger the shutter. If you do go for a remote, you might want to check out Pogo's personal universal remote instead of going w/ the Nikon branded remote, which is quite weak in IR range. I never got around to it myself, but many others have had no problems w/ using the Pogo remote (or some other universal remote) -- one co-worker of mine went that route for his D70.

Too bad I can't have that inexpensive option for the D200 though...
