Digital camera reviews of Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3
Digital camera Review: nice remote
Summary: 5 Stars
*Short review: definitely worth owning (this and the wireless)
Longer review: I own both this remote and the RC1 i think it is (the wireless remote for standing in front of the camera). You can't really compare the two because I feel they should both be used for different occasions. I found this remote really helpful for taking pictures of others, taking pictures when I don't want to risk any kind of camera shake, and when I want a really long exposure (i.e. shooting at night). It has a hold option so you can press the shutter on the remote and lock it in place and walk away while the picture is taking, come back and unlock it to end the exposure. Definitely happy with it, allows me to experiment with all sorts of exposure times.
Digital camera Review: Very good help
Summary: 5 Stars
Happy to have this remote. Helps a lot to make good photo when the longer exposure is needed.Works perfect with delay or without it. Digital camera Review: Great utility product
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this last month & have taken this on just one trip so far. I am already in love with it & cannot think why I had not got this earlier. Its very convinient when the weather is cold & the hands are freezing. I always find pressing the shutter button uncomfortable at that that. With the remote its much easier to just hold it & click it.
A great utility product, must have!.
Digital camera Review: Great Cable Release!
Summary: 5 Stars
It dose what it was made to do, and dose it well. I prefer a shutter release that works every time. I got this one to avoid err with the "wireless" cable release, which is finicky in the sun, and can decide to run out of batteries whenever it wants.
Pros
-Shipping was very fast.
-The Cord is the perfect length (1 1/2 ft.) for using with a tripod
-The half pressed trigger auto focus is a very nice option if you want AF
-I paid $18.00 from Adorama Camera, which is almost half the price as in stores ($30.00 + tax)
-Not battery operated. Works everywhere all the time. No problem.
-And obviously stops camera shake, and gives you manual control of exposure time in Bulb... which is what its for after all.
Con
-It was not free
Digital camera Review: Very useful remote for canon cameras
Summary: 4 Stars
After much research I settled on this unit for my extended exposure photography needs. The wireless units would be more convenient however far too many reviews I read mentioned the need to be close and in front of the camera -- far from an ideal situation. The unit does seem a bit overpriced considering the components however it works well. The only real drawback is the length (or lack thereof) of the cable. This is easily solved with the purchase of an extension cable or two. I purchased a 6 foot and 12 foot cable premade from PCH Cables (look online for their website) and even with shipping the total charge was less than $9. This affords you controlling the remote control from anywhere from 8 to 20 feet from the camera as the cables can be put together to extend the length available to a max of 20 feet.
