must have
I can't imagine a poorer description of this intervalometer when compared to the internal programming available in the camera than the previous reviewers "slight advantage". This is a far cry from the internal option and has MANY advantages over it. I've tried knock off products and none compate to the MC-36. A staple for any camera bag.

Good device, poor cable.
If you are willing to spend the amount of money Nikon is asking, this is a pretty good device. I use it as a basic trigger and I frequently use the automatic timer for exposures longer than 30 seconds. There is no on/off switch, but the AAA batteries seem to last a very long time if you keep it "locked" when not in use. It has a little LED that flashes as the second count down, but it would be nice if there was some more feedback as to how long remaining on the exposure. If I have the shutter open for an hour, or some other long duration, I also have to check my watch to avoid picking the unit up to turn on the LCD back light and display the remaining time.
It does take a bit to figure out all the setup possibilities, but it is not too hard once you get the hang of it. My only real complaint is the cable. I have had mine for about 5 years and after about 2 the cable end that attaches to the camera split open. There is a reinforcement, but it is not good enough. It is also very hard to secure the cable to the camera. I have small hands, but it is very hard to get the thread on the locking ring to connect.

Too expensive!
Aftermarket intervalometers that are identical to the MH-36 can be had for $20 on ebay.

Nikon MC-36
I bought this product approximately eight months ago. Many of the features it offers are redundant if you already own a D3. Additionally, the LED display is far to dim and small. The manual is not clearly written, and the price Nikon charges for this product is excessive. Save your money and by the less expensive model. For those of us who already made the mistake of purchasing this accessory the is a U-tube video that will give the guidance that Nikon does not.

Very specialised
A lot of the functionality of this widget is already available within the camera. If you do a lot of star trails, and the like, it is slightly easier to use this device, but then you lose the ability to use the GPS-1.

I will soon have a D200. I'm interested in the MC-36 for use as an interval timer. I want to utilize the mirror lockup function but I understand that it requires two presses of the shutter button to actually take a picture. Can the MC-36 keep the mirror locked up?

Answer:
Yes, you press the button down and slide the lock up so the shutter will stay open.
I now have the MC-36 and it's not working as I expected.
1# camera in MLU + bulb
2# slide lock forward on MC-36
3) start timer
If, for example I wanted to take qty 5 x 60 second pictures and keep the mirror up all the time I would expect to set
Delay 0
Duration 60 sec
Interval 60 #+2 or 3) sec
n 5
My result is one picture. What gives?

I will be using the MC-36 to shoot time lapse during construction of a convention set over a period of 9 days. Triggering 1 shot per minute, 24/7. How long should the battery life last? Should I change them out daily? Thanks!
