Canon RC-1 Remote Control

Pros: X-Ray like infra-red reception, great range, cheaper than wired remote, comes with batteries.

Cons: Cheap plastic casing, continuous shooting not available via remote.

The Bottom Line: Great buy for the money! Great little toy opening a whole new world of exposure control.

Review: Bought the RC-1 for long exposures with my EOS Elan 7E, in which pressing the shutter can potentially move camera and fuzz the exposure (no matter how rock steady my tripod may be). I had a hard time deciding between this and the wired version of...

Pros: Nice design, easy to clean

Cons: Quality is disappointing!!!!!!!!

Review: Bought this skillet for my wife, she has only used it twice, plugged it in last night to use and the skillet will no longer power on.

Pros: tiny, lightweight, freedom of movement

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: This product has made so much easier for me. It gives me complete freedom of movement and time.

Review: Being a photographer, I am always looking for products that will make my life easier. I had been wanting a remote control for my Canon Elan film camera for awhile but I had not decided which one to purchase.

Previously I had been using the...

Pros: Locks onto the camera neckstrap; does its job very well

Cons: Price

The Bottom Line: If you have a Digital Rebel, this should be an automatic purchase to go with it.

Review: Though I'm hardly a great photographer, one thing I've always loved ever since beginning to use an SLR is taking long-exposure shots. I love setting up the tripod and taking pictures of lightning streaking through the sky during thunderstorms, or...

Pros: Simple and easy to use, Long battery life, Locked, regular and delayed modes

Cons: IR requires line-of-sight to fire camera

The Bottom Line: If you have a Canon Rebel or any of the other compatible models, go out and get one of these, you'll wonder why you hadn't gotten one earlier

Review: If you have a digital Rebel camera (or any of the several Canon models that this remote supports), this handy little remote control can let you take group photos or long exposure shots without having to touch the camera. While it s not perfect, I ve...

Pros: Storage convenience, wireless, sturdy, 2 sec w/ mirror lock, works with bulb mode

Cons: IR limitations; No L mode (mirror lock) with Rebel XT

The Bottom Line: While there are some caveats that won't please professionals, it is small and convenient, while giving you the ability to get yourself into group shots.

Review: Being in IT, I have purchased a good number of digital cameras over the years, and one of the things that caught my eye about 8 years ago was the emergence of wireless remotes. Back then, it was somewhat of a side note, and it doesn't seem that...

Pros: digital display, removable base, even cooking, large

Cons: mine kept shutting off in the middle of cooking for no apparent reason

Review: I loved this electric skillet at first. It has a digital display. It is LARGE. It has a clear top so you can see what you are cooking without opening the top. It seems to heat evenly. You can remove the skillet from the base for easy cleaning and...

Pros: Works well, small, easy to operate.

Cons: Easy to lose, a little flimsy.

The Bottom Line: The RC-1 is an excellent accessory for many popular Canon cameras. It is both functional and inexpensive.

Review: The RC-1 remote control from Canon can be used to operate the shutter release on many popular cameras including Elan II/e and EOS IX. This wireless remote can be used up to 16 feet (5 metres) from the camera infront, or from a few feet behind. This...

Pros: Easy enough and good enough for most users. Lots of quality for the money.

Cons: About perfect for what it is and what it costs.

The Bottom Line: Buy this camera for quality performance and price. I don't see anything else in this price band that really competes.

Review: $189 buys a very capable digital camera at Sam's Club. To that purchase you'll need to add a 1GB (or better) Memory Stick Duo Pro ($33), screen protector ($10), and belt-loop case ($15)for basic operations. Total $247.

What makes this...

Pros: Clip design, small size, easy to use, direct and 2s delayed shutter control

Cons: Limited range, line-of-sight only, no "half-press" mode

The Bottom Line: Tiny, easy to use ... indispensible for those times when not "behind" the camera

Review: I have been using Canon's xxD series for a while (20D, 40D) and since neither offers a built-in wireless remote control option, the corded switch was really the best and only option. Consumer cameras like the Digital Rebel in several incarnations,...
