Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3

This remote works terrific. I have used it to make my own passport photos. I suggest that you buy the wireless remote as well for shots when you are further away from the camera. This remote will work well with a tripod and a telephoto lens to take pictures of the night sky.

I have used this remote on two occasions. The first was for fireworks at the local 4th of July display. The ability to reduce shake by this accessory is a must have for any shooting at night. The pictures show crisp straight lines that add great dimension to the photo, compared the the shaky zigzags you get with the standard shutter button. The second time I used this was when I had my Rebel XT hooked up to a Meade Telescope, here shake can blur a picture of the moon, or downright destroy an attempt at a picture of a star. Especially with astrophotography by the time the autotimer goes off the item you were trying to take a picture of could be out of frame. I highly recommend this little accessory for anyone doing night shots without a flash on a tripod.

Never thought a small and well priced unit will make me do more things with my DSLR. I borrowed one from my friend and tried it on my 400D Xti without a hint on how to use it. And I can say I enjoyed using it because it gave me more flexibility on my still and night shots. I can create natural over exposures even on very dim conditions. It just made digital photography more flexible and useful. So I knew I had to buy one for myself. Its already on its way.

So if you want to have more flexibility on your still and night shots, you definitely need this simple and yet very useful gadget.

This is one of those small and simple pieces of gadgets that just makes life easier ...

I purchased this to take tripod photos and it works like a charm. Especially when taking portraits of kids, they don't even know it is coming!

Canon's remote shutter release cable is very well built and performs beautifully. A must have if you are going to be taking any shots using a slow shutter speed. The button is responsive and the tactile feedback makes it easy to differentiate between autofocus and shutter release. It even has grooved sides and a notch on top and bottom to securely wrap the cable and is topped off with a hole to insert the plug for nice tidy storage. Don't think about it, just buy it!
