Summary: Handy and very effective
Review: Easy quick way to remotely operate the shutter for my Digital Rebel. Works either as an instant release or allows for a slight time delay after pressing the button. Much easier than running back to the camera for taking family photos..!

Review: I concur with the other reviewers. The RC1 is a simple little remote that easily lets you get in the picture without having to rush. I have it attached to my camera strap so it is always available. It is very easy to use. I was conducting some training and wanted pictures of the students and me together. I set up the tripod and camera, framed the shot, and took pictures at will without getting up.

Summary: Nice little gadget
Review: I received this product a day ago and am happy with it. It's simple and reliably does what it's supposed to do. I bought it primarily for 'bulb' exposures [with my D-Rebel], but, of course, it is also useful when you want to avoid camera shake or to get yourself into the shot.As others have noted, it is extremely light (15g) and tiny. Those reasons are why I picked this remote over the RC-5 and RS-60E3. Also, there is a camera strap clip included, so it will be quickly available. Canon is even kind enough to include batteries. This is definitely the one to buy.

Summary: wonderful...
Review: This little piece of equipment is wonderful! It's so small and light that you won't even notice it when it's attached to your neck strap. Rather than using the RS-60E3 remote switch with a tiny 4ft. cord which can get tangled up, use this and have all the flexiblity in the world...well at least up to 16ft. You can use it like a standard shutter release or with a 2 second delay. But the main reason I purchased this remote was to use for bulb exposures--just push the button once to open the shutter and when you're done just push it again to close. And the best thing about the RC1 is the price. At just $20 you can't go wrong.

Summary: Very nice EOS accessory
Review: This remote is a great accessory for the Canon Elan II/IIe. It's a very convenient way to do astrophotography, where you set the camera on "bulb" and leave the shutter open for 30 seconds or more. One push of the button on the remote opens the shutter, the next push closes it; you never even have to touch the camera. It's also great for taking group pictures when you want to be in the picture, and don't want to race into position to beat the camera's timer. The RC-1 is small and compact, and fits nicely onto a holder on the camera strap. My only complaint is that you have to hold it in front of the camera to use it, which can be inconvenient at times. Overall, though, it's a relatively cheap, convenient gadget to have.

Summary: Simple, no-frills remote that works great!
Review: This remote uses a small infrared transmitter to trip the shutter of many of the EOS line of cameras (EOS 10, Elan, Elan II/IIE, EOS IX and possibly others). I bought one 5 or 6 years ago and I haven't had to change the battery yet. Unlike wired remote shutter releases, the RC1 doesn't require the user to set anything up -- just point the remote at the camera front and press the button. The RC1 clips onto a holder that can be threaded through your camera strap so it's always nearby when needed. It measures (inches) 2.25 x 1 x .5 (length x width x height) and weighs not much more than one ounce. The RC1 as two controls on it: a small slider switch and a larger button to trip the shutter. If you're wearing gloves, the slider switch is near impossible to adjust but the shutter button is easy to hit. The slider offers three settings: Lock (disables the shutter button), regular and 2-second delay. The regular setting works just like the shutter release on your camera although you can't press it halfway to autofocus. The 2-second delay locks up the mirror when you hit the shutter button and then trips the shutter 2 seconds later. This is very useful for longer exposures or shooting with telephoto lenses. I've found the RC1 to be plenty sturdy (I shoot mostly outdoors and tend to be pretty hard on my equipment) and easy enough to unclip and operate with one hand. I have only two complaints with it: you need to point the remote at the front of the camera -- the IR sensor is right next to the shutter release -- which can be tricky when using wide angle lenses as you don't want to include your remote in the picture, and the RC1 doesn't provide any feedback that the shutter had been tripped -- I often find myself peering back through the viewfinder to see if the mirror is up or keeping my ear near the camera to listen for the film advance. This is a far simpler remote than the ones Canon offers for their top-end camera but it's also far less expensive and heavy. I only wish the RC1 worked for the EOS3!
