theres often stuff like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/V2s-Wireless-Remote-C3-for-Canon-5D-40D-30D_W0QQitemZ120303669547QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120303669547&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) available on ebay from the far east for not much dollar.

Cool, that's quite a bit cheaper than the £280 odd that Canon would like.

i used to have one with my old eos 10 back in the day. cost a tenner. the fact canon basically don't do one now (i don't count £280 ish as doing one) shows a lack of respect for their customers.

fuck, for 280 bananas you could phone up the job club and pay some 18year old drone minium wage to stand there for 60 hours and press the shutter when you shouted at him. when you  buy a camera from canon does it come with a greetings card in the box that just says "fuck you" inside?

I think bubs needs one for a 10D, presumably not IR.

Aye, it's gotta work on a 10D. Wireless is only nice for doing self-portraits of my hunky self and twee couples shots of me and Ms Bubbs. Otherwise I'd just get a wired one for a tenner.

A 10d is only worth about £100 now :lol:

That's actually a bit of a shock to me - these things sure depreciate.
