Customer Review: Because You Need It
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, no idea why the price is [...] for this. I plaid 25 for my Nikon MCDC2 remote that is excactly the same as this and I thought that was to much. The handle is a bit larger which I like, but dislike the "flex" in the plastic. also the cord is about 2 inches shorter than my Nikon remote.
Besides that it does what it suppose to do and should last a while with normal use. Though would not say strong build, I don't think it will break to easily even though it is all plastic. I do recommend this product, as I think a remote is essential to any photo set-up, but c'mon they really should just include it with the camera. They pay what a buck, if, that to make it? Atleast drop the price to 10 or so for us, who already paid out a fortune for your camera.
Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my Canon EOS 40D. The cable is a little short which is fine for me, but if you need some distance from the camera you'll need the extension cable or a wireless remote instead.
The button responds well and slides up into a detent to allow for prolonged exposures (bulb setting) without having to hold the button yourself. Unfortunately, it does this so easily I'm always getting the button stuck down without realizing it. Since I bought this for astrophotography, I just have to remember this so when I try to set up the next shot I'm not fumbling around with the camera trying to figure out why it's not working!
Customer Review: Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch with a Canon 30D camera
Summary: 4 Stars
The product plugs in easily, feels solid, and works well. It eliminates camera shake on longer exposures. The only issue I've had is when I don't pay attention to the sliding lock mechanism. It's easy to slide it forward when pushing the button to take a picture, which locks the electronic shutter on and takes continual pictures until you unlock the slider. Yes, it's expensive for what it does, but if it makes the difference in sharpness between keeping a photo or tossing it, doesn't it pay for itself very quickly?Customer Review: works well so far
Summary: 4 Stars
The product seems to work just fine. I give it 4 stars instead of five because I think it is quite overpriced for being just a little piece of plastic. I paid the money anyway after reading bad reviews regarding the quality of the cheaper third party remote switches. I will consider the money well worth it if the canon model lasts a long time. We'll see.
Also, the cord is quite short...kind of a pain if you're trying to get away from the camera at all.
Customer Review: Hard To Justify The Price For A Switch
Summary: 4 Stars
The accessory came bundled with a purchase of a used Canon EOS 5D from a professional photographer. It wasn't a switch that I would have bought. Now that I have it, it definitely gets used when the camera is tripod mounted for those ever-so-still moments. But, I still balk at Canon's pricing for this accessory: Any of it's accesories! It's a well made switch for professional level use. But, for half the price, there's always an internet available alternative.
