The RS-80N3 is the cheaper release at £40ish but it is a reasonable way of getting the correct Canon plug even if you wanted to cut off the remote release and just use the connector. |
Sounds good Kev, it's a shame I'm not a canon user
One drawback of the D70, which I'm currently using, is there is no facility for a release cord! (there is on the updated D70s). You can purchase a remote, but this only works from the front of the camera where the infra red sensor is located. You can adapt the camera, but again this voids the warranty. This also applies to the battery grip, and some of the solutions look a bit 'Heath Robinson' to me. To stop camera shake at low shutter speeds, I have to use the self-timer - not good for moving subjects though!
