Remote Control - Canon RS-80N3

[Jon]

I have been considering buying one of these which seem to be around £29 to £35 but I also see there are some going for £5 and even £3 on ebay. I think they are Chinese imitations and not the real Canon part.
Last year I bought a cheap right angle finder which is fine but then of course I was not risking electrical circuits!

Does anyone know if they are any good or if they are possibly detrimental to the camera. Any views or comments would be welcome.

Its a switch John. I have had one of the original Canon ones and a cheap one for a year now. The cheap one is just as good and much less expensive

I agree with Andrew. Mine is a cheap one, and it works perfectly. No problems at all.

Thanks very much, Boddie & Graham, I will place my order!
