Canon Remote Controller for night photography
Hi
Can someone advise me on which canon remote controller would be better suited for night photography. The RC-1, RC-5 or the RS-60E3. RC1 and RC-5 can both fire immediately or would it be better to have the RS-60E3 so that you can press the shutter halfway to compose etc before taking the shot? As you can tell i havent played with taking photos from dusk onwards. Your comments are much appreciated. |

A lot of AF cameras won't even shoot until focus is locked, and need a remote with a half-press to initiate autofocus. The connectors would likely be different on a remote with that function. |

The RC-1 actuates the camera remotely from the camers's front. So this is a bit unhandy if you are taking pics standing behind the camera. The RC-1 is best for self-portraits and group shots that you are in. It has a 2-sec delay to allow you to hide the remote. Note that the RC-1 does not do a mirror lockup when using the 2-sec delay, contrary to some info on the web. (Would be a handy feature, though.) The RS-60E3 is more suitable for general photography. You can half-click it to focus, etc. and can lock it for bulb exposures. The 2-foot length is a bit stingy but it works. KS |
