Digital camera reviews of Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3

Digital camera Review: Light, solid and works just fine!
Summary: 4 Stars

This thing is mainly useful for bulb exposures (you have to manually lock the shutter and unlock it when you have completed the exposure time, it doesnt count the time since it doesnt have any procesors or logical electronics inside). Another thing it may work great is to be taking pictures with the camera mounted on a tripod when you dont want to move it even by the shutter button being pushed.

It works just great for those two things. The remote has a shape to make easy to roll the cable around it in the bottom has a little hole to "connect" the cable so that it can be stored without the cable going everywhere, its kinda clever. I would recommend this product if this is what you want it for and if you dont want to spend much.

Digital camera Review: Great For Astrophotography
Summary: 5 Stars

I've spent my month of May on investing equipment for my Digital Rebel XT. I've ran into this product while searching for camera lenses and decided to buy one. Overall, this is a great product for the price. I use this Remote Switch for long exposures in BULB Mode when I'm taking Astrophotography. This product has the option of releasing the camera shutter instantly or locking the camera shutter as long as you want. The 2-foot cable is not bad since I don't really stay away from my camera very far. Most if not all Digital Rebel XT photographers should have this item as it takes up very little room in your camera bag and it is one handy product.

Summary: 5 Stars

Helps take a better picture with out pressing the shutter button. You also can set up your camera & use the remote from a short distants without being right with the camera.

Digital camera Review: Makes your camera work better for less
Summary: 5 Stars

I highly recommend this product.

Shooting with a less expensive zoom lens at 300X with a tripod, this time, everything came out crystal clear. Out of 300 shots I only had 1 a little with motion blur due to people moving very fast on-stage.

Digital camera Review: Great product - Worth the price.
Summary: 4 Stars

This is, by far, one of the best purchases I've made as far as digital camera accessories go. In my opinion, it is well worth the $30 that I paid.

I am not a terribly steady person, so even with my camera on a tripod, when my finger would press the shutter release button on the camera I would still get a little camera shake. This remote ends camera shake!

That said, I have to agree with a previous reviewer who said that they would prefer a little more tactile feedback at the AF point (press half way down) on the remote button. It is difficult to tell where exactly half way is. I found, though, that you get used to that rather quickly as you and the remote form a quality relationship. :-)

Also, the cord length is not optimal. With my camera on my tripod at eye-level and the remote plugged into the side of my camera, I am barely able to drop my arm down to my side. But again, another reviewer has come up with a way of extending the length for little cost.

All in all, I am VERY happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone who asked.
