OXO Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi Chap's,I am looking to buy a Canon 300D DSLR in a few week's and was wondering if you know of any really good shop's online that sell these for a decent price muct inc a len's. Not to bothered if it's secondhand or new(there discontiued) my budget will be around the 350gbp mark so prob secondhand is best.I see you can get remote's for the Camera really cheap (5.99gbp) not sure if there any good so if you know please let me know?. Also there's a remote cord you can get to link to your pc/laptop does this allow longer exposures than the 30secs you only supposed to get?..ThanksJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 James, I might be able to obtain a genuine (not grey import) refurbished Canon 300D for you. The IR r/c is a very simple device; I am not aware of problems with any of them.Remote Capture allows you to use the 300D tethered to a PC. This enables you to control the camera from the PC, program time-lapse routines and have the image transferred straight to the PC. I think it also enables longer exposures thru automated control of the cameras B setting. Hope that helps, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 If you want a lead to controll the 300D from a laptop then have a word with Andy Ellis - he made a couple for me and they are like works of art.Also I've got the IR remote - never had any problems with it (except it doesn't work standing begind the camera )Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLO Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 ... it doesn't work standing behind the camera Put some white tape on the scope around the focusser - the IR will bounce off that onto the cameras front facing sensor. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
