Remote switch is better than none

It is difficult to use while waiting because your arm is held at length...." Read Full Review »

"Canon RS-80N3 snaps snuggly into the socket of my new EOS 7D. It functions exactly as the "take photo" button, i.e. a half push brings up settings in the setting window or viewfinder; full push engages the shutter.
