Canon Wireless Remote Control RC1 for Digital Rebel

The Canon RC-1 remote control makes taking group photos easy by allowing you to take pictures away from the camera. The RC-1 allows the selection of either a 2-second shutter delay or instant shutter release. Compatible with the Canon EOS Elan II/Elan IIe, EOS Elan, EOS 10S, and EOS IX.
Customer Review: Love it!
This is exactly what I needed to take pictures of my hummingbirds from inside my plateglass windows (the feeders are on the windows). Like others said, the remote must face the front of the camera, but you can work around that. I placed a mirror against some books in front of the camera, and I am able, with no problem at all, to point the remote at the mirror, where it angles it back to the camera and I can take pictures from my couch from the rear of the camera!
Customer Review: It's so little....
I received my remote yesterday and started playing with it immediately. I could not believe how small the remote was and it came with batteries! The feature I like most is the 2-second timer. Since my Rebel XT only has a 10-second timer, this will come in handy. It also has a bulb mode setting which I will most likely use at some point. This is a great Canon product and for the price...it is worth it.


If you are a Photographer and if you are thinking on start shooting some Weddings, I would advise you to read few other articles about becoming a Wedding Photographer, but if you are experienced photographer and you want to start adventuring into shooting Weddings, here are some more detailed list and explanation of what equipment you should look for;

- Buying the Right Equipment - Here I am going to list few of the most important things that you will have to have in order to become a good Wedding Photographer.

1- Digital SLR Camera

You have many choices when you are buying your new camera (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Olympus and etc). If you have the choice of choosing what brand to buy, I would have to say that most of Top Wedding Photographers prefer CANON over any other brand. Each company develop its own line of products, this means that if you buy a camera body from Canon, you certainly would have to buy your lenses, flashes and etc specific designed to fit Canon cameras. So, you will have to do your homework before you go shopping.

2- Lenses

Ask any good Photographer, and you will have the same answer; "The most important part of the camera is the lens". You can buy a camera with 10 or 20 Megapixel, but at the end, it is the lens on that camera that is going to make the difference, so always buy good lenses.

3- Memory Card

With the technology improving the number of megapixels that each camera can record its data, would be good if you could buy few memory cards with 4GB, 8GB or larger. Don't forget to check how many MB/second the card is capable of writing and reading. I would recommend something between 25 and 30MB/second.

4-Shoe Mount Flash

Buy always the best Flash for your camera. Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions are generally very dark. A good flash is always handy.

5-Battery for the Camera and for the Flash

Needless to say that you need not just the batteries to your camera and flash, but you will also need few spare batteries.

6- Tripod

If you have a very good lens you might be able to take very good and sharp pictures even if the room is a little dark, but I always bring a tripod to my weddings anyway, you never know if you are going to need it or not.

7- Computer and editing System

Because you are doing Digital Photography, it is very important you to have a good and fast computer and a very good editing system. Photoshop is the choice of almost 100% of professional Photographers.

You could also buy some strobes, radio slaves, and many other more advanced equipment, that certainly would help to improve the quality of your work, but I think that for now, you would be ok with just the 7 items from that list.

Remember that you will be responsible for memories of the most important day of somebody's life, so would be wise to you to have backup equipment. You got it right; another camera, lens, memory card, batteries, etc and etc.
