Canon Cable Release Adapter T3 - VS - the RS-80N3
I had wanted to get the Canon Cable Release Adapter because it sounded more
like what was recommended here. the store only had an RS-80N3 in stock. I know I don't know how to use a lot of things on the camera right now. but hope to learn all I can so with that in mind. can both be used the same way? is one better than the other? Thank you JSM |

That looks similar to the Nikon setup. The fancier version with an LCD panel has the ability to do timed bulb exposures for night shooting and an interval timer for multiple exposures or time lapse movies, but maybe the only real important thing is the ability to do a mirror lockup... probably that just requires a second click so I wouldn't worry. You are saving about $100 with that model. I had to hunt for an old used version to avoid the expensive new overkill Nikon cable release. -- Paul Furman Photography http://edgehill.net Bay Natives Nursery http://www.baynatives.com |

Thank you JSM I think the RS-80N3 is what you are looking for. It is Canon's standard remote switch for the 10-40D and 1D cameras. It simply is a cable with a shutter release button. Yes, it is quite expensive for what is does, but unfortunately Canon uses a proprietary connector for the shutter release cable, so you won't find many alternatives. The "Cable Release Adapter T3" is an adapter which allows you to connect a mechanical shutter release cable. I doubt that this is what you really want... An interesting alternative might be the TC80N3 Timer Remote Control which provides some useful self-timer, interval timer and long-exposure timer features - if you need them. Of course, it is even more expensive. Peter |

One thing I read it might have had to do with metering or perhaps focus. but sometimes its needed to press the shutter half way and while holding it move the camera. An interesting alternative might be the TC80N3 Timer Remote Control which provides some useful self-timer, interval timer and long-exposure timer features - if you need them. Of course, it is even more expensive. Peter I would have liked that but right now I need to focus on what will work best for my job. thank you for the explanation. JSM |

I feel good knowing at least 2 here feel its not a bad remote. I know the remote for my Nikon didn't let me hold the shutter half way. just press and take the picture. |

One thing I read it might have had to do with metering or perhaps focus. but sometimes its needed to press the shutter half way and while holding it move the camera. The RS-80N3 also has a "halfway pressed" state which activates AF and exposure metering. So you can use it exactly the same way as the camera's shutter button. An interesting alternative might be the TC80N3 Timer Remote Control which provides some useful self-timer, interval timer and long-exposure timer features - if you need them. Of course, it is even more expensive. Peter I would have liked that but right now I need to focus on what will work best for my job. thank you for the explanation. JSM |
