Hi Robert, the timer on the 1DS MKII can be set at 2 seconds or 10seconds, therefore I prefer using the 2 sec timer rather than a remote release. Does the same job, and split second shutter release timing is not an issue.
Ok, that makes more sense then. I had envisioned you standing around for 10 seconds waiting for the shutter to release.
I guess it's also one less thing to have to carry in the field.
