Canon RS-60E3 Remote Switch

I purchase this for my Canon Rebel T4i and it works Great. Before this one I was using a wireless system but switched. I love the simplicity and compact design of this trigger. It is small enough to fit in your pocket and pull out anytime you may need it. The cord is a bit short but can be extended by buying the correct adapter/ cable from any Radio Shack. I listed below the Cameras that are Compatible with this Remote Switch; The List below Came directly From Canon.This Switch is a MUST HAVE for Novice and Experienced Photographers.Compatibility-- Digital Rebel XSi-- Digital Rebel XTi-- EOS 60D Body-- EOS 60D Body Refurbished-- EOS 60D EF-S 18-135mm IS Lens Kit-- EOS 60D EF-S 18-135mm IS Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS 60D EF-S 18-200mm IS Lens Kit-- EOS 60Da Body-- EOS Digital Rebel-- EOS Digital Rebel XT-- EOS Digital Rebel XT Black with EF-S 18-55 Lens Refurbished-- EOS Digital Rebel XT Silver with EF-S 18-55 Lens Refurbished-- EOS Digital Rebel XTi with EF-S 18-55 Lens Refurbished-- EOS ELAN 7 / 7E-- EOS ELAN 7N-- EOS ELAN II-- EOS ELAN IIE-- EOS IX LITE-- EOS M Black EF-M 22mm STM Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel 2000-- EOS Rebel G-- EOS Rebel G II-- EOS Rebel SL1 Body-- EOS Rebel T1i (Body)-- EOS Rebel T1i Body Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T1i EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T1i with EF-S 18-55mm IS-- EOS Rebel T2-- EOS Rebel T2i Body-- EOS Rebel T2i Body Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T2i EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T2i EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T3 Black EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T3 Black EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T3 Brown EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T3 Brown EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T3 Metallic Gray EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T3 Metallic Gray EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T3 Red EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T3 Red EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T3i Body-- EOS Rebel T3i Body Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T3i EF-S 18-135mm IS Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T3i EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T3i EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T4i 18-135mm IS STM Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T4i 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T4i Body-- EOS Rebel T4i Body Refurbished-- EOS Rebel T4i EF-S 18-135mm IS STM Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T4i EF-S 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T5i 18-55mm IS STM Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel T5i Body-- EOS Rebel T5i EF-S 18-135mm IS STM Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel TI-- EOS Rebel X-- EOS Rebel XS Black EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel XS EF-S 18-55 IS Lens Kit-- EOS Rebel XSi Body Refurbished-- EOS Rebel XSi EF-S 18-55mm IS Lens Kit Refurbished-- EOS Rebel XSi Silver Body Refurbished

Convenient, and a must for any kind of long exposure shots to prevent any kind of shake from pressing the shutter. Allows for half press for auto focus, or full press to take the shot. Cord is easily wrapped around unit, and there are 2 slots to hold it in place, and an opening on the bottom to hold the plug too. Fit's in my pocket without weighing me down, it works great.I use this on a Canon 80D and a Canon T3i, but it is compatible with any Canon that has the input on the side of the camera for this jack, which I think is most of their DSLR cameras, if not all.A note - more modern cameras that have NFC, bluetooth, and WIFI have access to an app on your smartphones called Canon Camera Connect, which lets you use your smartphone as a remote trigger, as well as a live view preview, and a secondary controller for the camera. It can even add geotagging for cameras that don't have GPS! It kind of makes things like this obsolete, but there is still room for it in my bag thanks to its simplicity.Another note - If you don't have one of these and you want to prevent shake during long exposures, you can set the timer on your camera so that it opens the shutter. Some can be set to 2 seconds, more than enough time to move away from the camera. Just remember to set it back to normal when you are done or you will likely ruin a shot in the future.A warning - I have since writing this review learned that this item is tagged as "non-returnable" by Amazon. I hear that even applies to defective items, which seems wrong but I have not had the experience of trying to deal with this. I did want to offer a suggestion though, to anyone that might get a bad one and can't return it to Amazon....Go to any store that sells this item. Buy it, but it has to be the EXACT item. Take it out of the store and swap it with the bad one. Take it back to the store and tell them it was defective and that you want a refund. They will refund your money and you now have a replacement. If they ask if you just want to exchange it say no. If they ask why, just make up a reason. Tell them this is the final straw, or you have no confidence in the item, or something like that. Something confrontational that will get them to just shut up and give you your refund. And you don't even have to feel bad about it. They will jsut send it to the manufacturer to get a credit or be issued a new one. I have been on both sides of this, it all works out for everyone. It is a little underhanded, but it gets you your replacement.

I kept trying to use the built-in wifi on my Canon EOS 70D camera. Too much of a nuisance. All I want to do is trigger the shutter to take a picture without touching the camera in order to minimize vibration. I finally decided to get this wired remote switch and it works great.If you want to be included in a few posed family photos, then wifi works fine to trigger the shutter from your phone. But if you're taking pictures over a long period of time such as the solar eclipse, then this wired remote is the answer. At least for the 70D, wifi uses too much power and takes too many steps to reconnect if the camera goes to sleep.
