Im going on a vacation soon,
and im renting a 5d mark ii, and ditching my ol' XSi. (Well rather using it as a backup)
Its just going to be me and my girlfriend, and its an important trip to me, because im gonna be proposing to her. So I need a wireless release along with my tripod so that I can take pictures of both of us together at the national parks and all that. Since we obviously won't have anyone to take pictures of us.
My question is, do all infrared remotes made for Canon work on all Canon body's ??
I have a wireless shutter release (infrared) that works with my XSi. It also says on the website that it works with a variety of other Canon body's. But the 5d mkii isn't listed there as a compatible camera. This is the one that I own:
Amazon.com: Wireless Shutter Release Remote for Canon EOS, Rebel: Camera & Photo
I know its a cheap brand remote, but I can't afford to buy all the Canon branded accessories.
Is it safe to assume that since its just infrared, that it would still work on the 5d mkii ???
I have seen other cheaper brand wireless releases that look almost identical, that support the 5d mkii.
Example: supports 5d mkii
Amazon.com: Opteka RC-4 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, T1i, T2i, T3i, 60D, 7D & 5D Mark II Digital SLR Cameras: Electronics
It makes no sense to me to buy another remote, if my current one will work fine. But then again, it would suck to be far away from home or a store and not have a wireless shutter.
Thanks a lot,
Nick
