40D remote adapter

Hi all I'm thinking of buying a Remote/Timer shutter for my 40D, is there any adapter that converts the connector to a 400D? Somthing like a TC-80N3 to RS-60E3 adapter?

I'm not sure what size stereo plug the 400D uses (the micro-phone plug?) but if you can find out and get a jack and plug for it, you can cut the wire 2/3 or 3/4 of the way down towards the N3 plug end and then solder the plug on the remote switch end and the jack on the N3 terminal end. When you need to use the remote with the 400D, just unplug the N3 end and plug the remote into the 400D.

If you are looking for a remote shutter controller for your 40D all you need is a laptop and the USB cable that came with your camera and the software that, if you don't have it . It can be downloaded from canonUSA, it's called EOS Utility. Make sure your browser is set to accept pop-ups.
Hope this helps you out.

I am no EXPERT by a long shot.... But the live view feature on the 40D is WHY I bought the camera instead of the competing Nikon. Fantastic some stuff and lots of fun!

Hi
Yes I am, but I want the actual remote shutters like this and I wanted an adapter so I can also use it with my 400D. Two birds with one stone.

The EOS utility is great and it lets you shoot from the laptop but you can't always bring the laptop anywhere you go.

I wish there was a wireless release that connected to a Windows handheld CE device about the size of a Palm Pilot. You could load the EOS Utility on it and control the camera remotely. The range would be that of a Normal wireless 802.11g. Probably even use live view on your handheld. Now that would be cool.

The wire remotes that Gadget Infinity sells has a mini stereo jack on the side. You can get the remote for the 40D, and mini stereo extension cable will allow same remote to control the 400D.
