Canon Remote Switch RS-80N3

So you want to mount your Canon Digital SLR on a tripod to get better digital pictures. Excellent - now you need a way to trip the shutter without moving the camera. You could use the camera's built-in self-timer, but your subject may be long gone...

Don't leave home without it.

Great if you're using your camera in situations where you need long shutterspeeds. There is no use in using a remote control if you're not using a tripod.

Fast easy to use

Practical remote switch

Lets do it pros and cons to keep it short. The Cons outweight the pros for this one. Cons: Overpriced, Not very sturdy or feel well built, the cord might be too short for some. On the plus side it does what its supposed to do. Prevents camera shakes...

What IS it???

I ordered a Canon RS-80N3 remote shutter cable. What I received is a darn good question. The only thing about it that even comes close to being a Canon product is the word Canon on the package. Whoever this seller is should be banned from selling on...
