Pentax Remote Control "F" for All IQ Zoom Cameras
Strengths: small, easy to use
Weakness: none.
The remote control is very small and light. It only has one button. You can only set shuttle release option on the camera (immediate or 3 sec), not using the remote.
I don’t see any battery door, but it has three screws. I don't know if the battery is replaceable. I'll open it up when the battery is out.

Small, light and easy to use, it easily fits in (almost) any small digital camera case by lying flat underneath the camera if required. The battery (CR 1620) IS replaceable, but you have to remove two small screws and carefully separate the two halves of the unit - but take care, the small circuit board is then loose and thus vulnerable. Handle with care by the edges and note the orientation of the old battery before replacing it by sliding it out of its "cradle". However, this is not an operation you should need to do often - I've had my remote for 3 years and it's still going strong...
