Yep, that's right... got a cheapy eBay corded remote for my 5D because the official Canon one seemed a bit pricey, only for it to die on it's first outing! :bang:
Now admittedly, I did look down to see it was covered in sand and water (I'd accidentally dipped it in a rockpool!) but I used to have the official Canon one with my 400D and did that plenty of times with no problems. So, I'm contemplating my options...
1. Buy another cheapy in case I do the same again?
2. Buy a Canon one because it might be weatherproof (nay rockpoolproof)?
3. Buy one of these cheap eBay wireless ones because there's less dangy wire to drag in a rockpool?
Any other options? Thoughts?
