Digital camera reviews of Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3
Digital camera Review: Exactly what I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I got what I expected and love it, but the one flaw is the length. I dont need the extra length but someone else might.Digital camera Review: Great device with a short lead
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the reviews for this device and noted that the main shortcomming was the fact that the cable was too short. I picked up a 6foot extension on line for $3 and paid more to ship it than the cable itself. I have used it several times and it is really a great device. Highly recommend it.

Digital camera Review: Does what it's supposed to do - A bit overpriced
Summary: 4 Stars
Definitely a must-have accessory if you are doing long exposure or macro photographs. I'm using mine with an EOS Rebel XTi and it works exactly like I expected.
A half press sets focus/exposure and a full press releases the shutter. Identical to the shutter button on the camera. To hold the shutter open, you can continue holding the remote button down with your thumb, or you can slide the "lock" upwards and it will hold the button down for you. Slide the lock down and it will release the button. Ideal for use when the shutter is in "BULB" mode.
For the price paid, it seems a little bit flimsy and fragile. I wouldn't expect it to hold up under heavy duty use, but for my purposes, I expect it to last quite a while. The half-press/full-press of the button is hard to "feel." Unlike with the camera's button, you don't get a lot of feedback on when to stop pressing for a half-press. Not a huge deal - the worst thing that would happen on a digital is a few extra shots on your memory card.
If you need an external shutter release for your photography, don't hesitate on buying this Canon model. If you see it for less than $10, buy two!
Digital camera Review: A 'MUST HAVE' For Tripod Work
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this for tripod work. Especially when using my 1600mm telephoto lens on my XTi, where breathing almost can cause movement, its a MUST HAVE piece of equipment. It has not got a very long cord but I have found no problems with it and I am sure a couple of bucks worth of components from your local Radio Shack could make a longer extension cord if necessary.
I also have the RC1 wireless remote for getting pics of me and the missus in photos together and it also is a handy bit of kit.
Digital camera Review: Canon remote switch RS60 E3
Summary: 5 Stars
Its is a very good Canon product and works as advertised I choose it over the Wireless Remote versions when I discovered that in using the wireless remotes, I could not stand BEHIND the camera to acivate the wireless remote, BECAUSE the sensor is on the front of the Digital Rebel.
I would have prefered the wireless. The cable on the RS60 E3 is a bit short but works OK.
