Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon RC-1 Wireless Remote Control for Select DSLR Cameras
Customer Review: Best investment I could have ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are not professional photographers, but it is nice to get a family picture every now and again. Normally we wrangle all the kids and dog together, get them where we want them, and then run to the camera and run back into position to get ready for the flash. With this little goodie, I never have to move, so no one gets distracted, I just click click click, get a couple shots in, and then its over. VERY easy to use, just point and click right out of the package. Batteries are a little hard to find, I have looked at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Home Depot, anywhere I thought that sold small batteries, but to no avail. The batteries did last a long time though.Customer Review: WORKS JUST RIGHT

THE REMOTE WORKS GREAT WITH A CANON XSI !! HELPED ME TO IMPROVE MY SHOOTING ON A TRIPOD
update::: 07/26/2010
This little gadget has been a joy to own ... not much to know as far as using it and it has helped me to take some stunning shots both on tripods and sandbags etc. It is very good for long exposure shots on a tripod .. I really like using it for HDR captures when i set up a 3 shot exposure .. i find then when i go to align the 3 shots later there is less post work needed to be done and the clarity is better overall. The distance is fine and I would still suggest to others thinking about this to get it and use it often
Customer Review: Works well!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the problems with taking pictures in low light, for pictures taken with longer exposures is that of camera shake. Often a minute movement of a camera can be the difference between that perfect crisp photograph and a blurry mess. One of the things that Canon users turn to in these circumstances are the image stabilized lenses which eliminate a lot of the camera shake at the expense of your hard earned dollars. While the IS lenses are great (I own a few), many times the extra expense can be entirely negated with a solid tripod and this quality little gagdet.
I love mine, it has improved my pictures and it only cost $20!
Customer Review: excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
works well. The distance isn't as far as you might think. But far enough to fit a 6' 4" man in the frame away easily in landscape orientation, therefore big enough for a group of 15 people or so, maybe more if you have them organized right.
It also can be used a remote release like a cable but this way you don't have to own two things. And the bulb exposure works with it too; press it once to start the exposure, you don't have to hold it down, press it again when you come back or whatever to end it.
I own a Canon EOS digital Rebel xti
it is a small remote. size of ring finger.
just buy it.
Customer Review: A great remote. It also attaches to the strap!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a gret remote for an IR remote. Yes it is limited to line of sight and 16 feet (as advertised). But given that it IS an infrared remote this remote is just about perfect.
The slide switch has 3 positions Lock, Instant shutter, and 2 second delay.
But the BEST feature (which is not list in the description) is that the remote comes with a clip that holds it to the camera strap. You can leave this thing on the strap so you always have it with you. When you need it, press a button and pop it off the clip. If I had known that the choice between the rc-1 and the rc-5 would have been easier.
