Remote for Canon 1000D

[Bizibilder]

Will this:

digitalmediastore: Canon compatible RS-60E3 Multi-Function Timer remote control

work on a Canon 1000D? I know it says it does (!!) but can anyone confirm that before I part with forty quid?

I already have an "ordinary" remote but it is such a pain manually operating 2min subs!! - and I don't (yet) have a lappy or I would use that.

Thank you.

You can buy that on Ebay for a fraction of the price. Let me have a look for you.

I just bought one of these for £18 of ebay inc delivery: TR-90 C6 Timer Remote for Canon 350D/400D/450D/1000D on eBay (end time 30-Dec-10 11:20:21 GMT)

Works a treat.

Just noticed russ's suggestion, it's the TR-80. The one on my post is a TR-90, not sure what the difference is.

[russ]

hmm not sure what the difference is between the TR80 & TR90?

But i can't workout if the cheapest jobs, the £13.90 roundish ones., do multiple exposures or not?

I bought one of these for my 1DS to shoot time lapse. Im very pleased with it and would thoroughly recommend getting one. For the price you can't go wrong.

Just ordered one for £18.95 from ukpartsdeal on Ebay (I'm now an official Ebay buyer ). Thanks for the info and for saving me twenty quid - I'll make sure I have a drink for each of you

You're welcome and mine's a pint!

thanks guys - useful heads up! I just bought a manual one a few weeks back, if knew was so cheap would have bought this instead! Now off for another investment

I have an RF one that works pretty well (comes in two parts, RF remote and a wired RF receiver which also has a two-stage button that can be used instead of the RF remote). I wanted a time-lapse one but couldn't fine one at the time (not that fitted the 1000d), this looks like just the ticket so thank you posters very much for the information!

This is the one I have. The advantage of this is that, unlike the official Canon IR one, it can be used from any side of the camera and quite a distance away (great for wildlife shooting from a hide).

THANKS FOLKS!!

Just received my RS-60E3 (from Ukpartsdeal at £18.95) remote and have just set it up to take a few darks - worked a treat and very easy to set up! You can turn off the camera display to save on batteries (and turn off the "bleeper" on the remote). I've just read a thread that tells you how to "fool" the camera into allowing "mirror lock-up" to work WITHOUT having to press the shutter twice each time - must try that next!
