Digital Rebel XT and remote switch

Interested in playing with the bulb function on the XT. The manual
recommends the RS-60E3 but says that the RC-1 and RC-5 will work. Any
recommendations or +/- with any of these switches?

thanks

I have the Rebel XT and RC-1 and it works well for me. Cheap and simple.
Bulb works fine. I'm not so sure about mirror lockup, though.

If you will be standing behind the camera, you'll need the RS-60E3.
Otherwise, if you're going to be in front of the camera, and a few feet
away, you'll need the RC-1 or RC-5.

I have an RC-1 I was getting ready to sell on ebay. Send me an email and
I will send the link when I put it up. Or you can let me know if you
want to buy it now.

I haven't yet needed to be in a spot where the RC-1 wouldn't work. Standing
to the side of camera within a couple of feet works fine for me.

A friend got one of the remotes for his 300D (you have to stand in front of
the camera) but he says all it does it start the 10-second timer, it doesn't
work as a shutter release. Is he doing something wrong?

He may not being doing anything wrong but there is something wrong there.
With the RC-1 there is a switch spot for 2 sec delay, and one for immediate
shutter release. The setting for remote control on a Rebel or Rebel XT is
shared with the 10 sec timer but 0 delay or 2 sec delay of the remote
normally overrides the 10 sec timer on the camera.
