Digital camera Review: Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch with a Canon 30D camera
Summary: 4 Stars
The product plugs in easily, feels solid, and works well. It eliminates camera shake on longer exposures. The only issue I've had is when I don't pay attention to the sliding lock mechanism. It's easy to slide it forward when pushing the button to take a picture, which locks the electronic shutter on and takes continual pictures until you unlock the slider. Yes, it's expensive for what it does, but if it makes the difference in sharpness between keeping a photo or tossing it, doesn't it pay for itself very quickly?Digital camera Review: Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch

As always with Canon I get what I expect. It's a simple remote switch that could be easily built at home by some techno-geek but, why bother. It's a well made compact unit that fits nicely into my already stuffed camera backpack and is a great addition to my bag of tricks. Digital camera Review: Expensive, but worth it.

Figure, you spent the money on a good camera, lenses, tripod, CF cards, etc. - might as well just pick this up - whats an extra $50!? It is very well made.
This is not only nice to have, but is practically mandatory if you are doing long exposures on a tripod (using the self-timer is a real hassle and slows you down). One of the easiest things you can do to improve your picture quality is get rid of all vibration (using the camera on a tripod with a remote shutter cable, and use 'Mirror Lock Up' if you have it). This will make your pictures sharper and clearer.

Unlike the less expensive wireless switch for the Rebel, this has a very short cord. For the money, it's not very impresive. Digital camera Review: Overpriced

I bought this as a Christmas gift for someone else who owns a high end digital Canon digital SLR. I felt as thought I had to make excuses for the piece of plastic grot that it was without revealing how much it had cost me.
