Many modern cameras can also be used with a remote rather than a cable, or you can use the timer in some situations (not good with macro and a breeze when you are trying to catch the moment between zephyrs!). My digi camers (Olympus C5050) was bundled with a remote and a battery charger in the US of A, but the NZ importer was too much of a cheapskate to offer the full bundle. Didn't stop them charging the same equivalent price though, even with the missing bits... The price for buying the remote as an "after market accessory" (humph) was awful. Sorry, I have been resentful about that for far too long and had to get it off my chest. Too good an opportunity to miss. Mumble mumble whinge whinge.... |
