Nov 18, 2004 16:56 | #3 i heard that the rc-5 can be used anywhere in terms of point of reference to the camera, and that rc-1 can only be used w/ in the line of sight of the camera's frontside. is this correct? TIA Sherwin Techico

TIA I'm quite certain that both require you to be (relatively) in front of the camera. ~ Jay ~

TIA. Why not try the wired remote ? Or the "do-it-yourself" wired remote? Agreed. Aparently the handsfree jobbies for cell phones work quite will but they are tethered. I have an rc-1, which I almost never use, and an rs-60e or something. It is a plugin remote that I find quite handy because I can activate the shutter without reaching around to the front of the camera. Glass and plastic

This is basically the only reason why I keep my rc-1 around, the rs 60 is much better for tripod work. Glass and plastic
