Are there any specific shutter release cables or shutter release wireless remotes you would recommend?

I’m debating between an infrared release and a cable-based one – any recommendations from people who have used both?

Last year, I wanted to take a self portrait to give to my wife on Valentines Day. I had made a fifteen foot extension (from a microphone cable) for the cable that came with my camera. I set up the camera on a tripod and held the remote switch out of sight on my lap. I took a lot of shots with some minor changes to my pose. After I selected the image I wanted, I used PS Elements to remove the section of cable that was in the scene. I was very pleased with the results.

I learned the shutter release cable for my Canon EOS 450D is model RS50-E3. It’s not available with our local Canon distributor. No idea where to find it and how much it costs! Also wondering whether any firmware update is necessary to activate it!

Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can make your own shutter release cable. There are several DIY instructions available on the net for several different camera brands, just Google “(Camera Brand) DIY Shutter release” and you should be able to find them. I would compare a couple of designs to make sure the wiring is correct. I have a SONY a350 that I built a 15′ remote for and it works great!
Happy shooting!

i have a question and problem. I use the rapid shot for action shots and it takes about 6-10 at in a second or two. I have a canon E30 and I am a beginner. my problem is that i get very blurry shots in low light, the autoflash dont work on this setting. how can i get clear bright shots in low light with the rapid shot setting. is there a special feature that i can set it on? I shoot my sons bull riding at night in rodeos or convention centers which have low light. please advise…
