Canon Remote RC-1 Review

Review
For those people that own any of the above cameras I would recommend the RC-1 remote control. The size is perfect for fitting in my small travel backpack and I’m glad that it isn’t connected by a wire to the camera.

The remote has three modes, immediate shot, 2 sec delay and off. The 2 second delay mode is extremely useful, as its gives you enough time to hide the remote when you want to be in a photograph taken by yourself.

The only negative thing I can say about the remote is that it can be a problem to get it to work from behind the camera – as the infrared receiver is on the front of the camera. The remote works fine about 1/2 a metre away from the back of the camera, anything more then you might have to start moving round the side. However i never find this an issue as I’m normally right behind the camera when I shoot.

Pros:
-Small size.
-Clips on to strap.
-2 Second mode.

Cons:
-Can be a pain using it behind the camera.
