Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control for EOS D30, D60, D10, 1D, 1V & 20D SLR CamerasCustomer Review: This is a well thought out, quality product by Canon Summary: 5 Stars
This remote is a handy tool to have. It's very basic use is as a shutter release. It's best to use a shutter release for when your camera in on a tripod in low light situations. Using the shutter release in this way helps to limit camera shake which improves your images.
Other programmable features include a self timer, interval timer, long exposure, and exposure count. You are permitted to use any combination all or none of these settings making the possibilities virtually limitless.
I have used to self timer so that I could both take the picture, and be in it. The self timer can be set for just shy of 100 hours if you wanted to.
For time lapse, a combination of the interval timer which can be set for just shy of 100 hours and the exposure count which can be set for up to 99 shots should be set. The self timer can be used to delay the first shot if desired.
The long exposure can also be set up to just shy of 100 hours.
The settings can be entered at any time without worry of inadvertent alterations. Pressing the light button until the hold indicator is displayed will deactivate all but the light button or prevents the stop/start button from being deactivated once an operation has been started.
The TC-80N3 is operated by one CR2032 battery. I've had my remote for over 2 years and the battery is still going strong. I'm not sure how long the battery is supposed to last, but there is an indicator in the display panel to let me know when the battery starts to get low. If the battery is fine, I don't see the indicator at all.
There is a storage place on the back for your cameras RC socket cover if you have one. I use this with a Canon 20D so it is of no use to me. The plug connects to the camera simply by pressing the plug into the socket. To disconnect, pinch the plug on the side and pull out.
For me, this item is a must have. I enjoy low light photography and I get plenty of use just for this reason. It's great to have the option available for other photographic opportunities. It is clear to me that this is a well thought out, quality product by Canon.
PROS:
Acts as a simple shutter release
