Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed to do.
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this with my Canon 50D to flash paint monumments at a local battlefield. The ability to lock the flash in an open position for an extended period was very helpful for this purpose. This is a great tool for low light photography.Digital camera Review: Essential equipment
Summary: 4 Stars
Since my Canon 5D does not use a wireless remote, this wired remote is necessary for the landscape shooting that is most of my photography. In low light, using a tripod, it keeps my hands off the camera. This remote lets you half-press the shutter button so you still use the auto-focus feature of the camera.Digital camera Review: Essential for night photography
Summary: 4 Stars
The title says it all. I use this for my 20D to shoot at night on a tripod. Kind of expensive for such a short cord but it does the job.Digital camera Review: Expensive but it works
Summary: 4 Stars
I was tempted to buy one of those cheap clones out there but after reading all the horror stories I bought this one. Works as advertised, but if it is designed to be used together with a tripod, it should have some kind of hanging hook or cable so you can rest/hang it on the tripod while you are doing something else.Digital camera Review: Expensive, but worth it.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
