5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome remote! May 26, 2004
This thing is very cool. You can do a bunch of different timer functions, and some combinations of them. You can set shutter length, interval between shots, time to first shot, and number of shots to take, plus you can just treat the thing as a remote release cable.

The display light is just fine for shooting at night, and there are not a lot of buttons, so you can learn to run the remote in the dark pretty fast.

My only gripe is the cable is not very long - 21 inches or something like that. Canon wants almost 1/2 the price of the TC80N3 for the extension cable. Most won't need anything longer, but it would be nice if it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a well thought out, quality product by Canon November 22, 2005
This remote is a handy tool to have. It's very basic use is as a shutter release. It's best to use a shutter release for when your camera in on a tripod in low light situations. Using the shutter release in this way helps to limit camera shake which improves your images.

Other programmable features include a self timer, interval timer, long exposure, and exposure count. You are permitted to use any combination all or none of these settings making the possibilities virtually limitless.

I have used to self timer so that I could both take the picture, and be in it. The self timer can be set for just shy of 100 hours if you wanted to.

For time lapse, a combination of the interval timer which can be set for just shy of 100 hours and the exposure count which can be set for up to 99 shots should be set. The self timer can be used to delay the first shot if desired.

The long exposure can also be set up to just shy of 100 hours.

The settings can be entered at any time without worry of inadvertent alterations. Pressing the light button until the hold indicator is displayed will deactivate all but the light button or prevents the stop/start button from being deactivated once an operation has been started.

The TC-80N3 is operated by one CR2032 battery. I've had my remote for over 2 years and the battery is still going strong. I'm not sure how long the battery is supposed to last, but there is an indicator in the display panel to let me know when the battery starts to get low. If the battery is fine, I don't see the indicator at all.

There is a storage place on the back for your cameras RC socket cover if you have one. I use this with a Canon 20D so it is of no use to me. The plug connects to the camera simply by pressing the plug into the socket. To disconnect, pinch the plug on the side and pull out.

For me, this item is a must have. I enjoy low light photography and I get plenty of use just for this reason. It's great to have the option available for other photographic opportunities. It is clear to me that this is a well thought out, quality product by Canon.

PROS:
Acts as a simple shutter release
Programmable options include a self timer, interval timer, long exposure, and exposure count

CONS:
Cable only about 34 inches

4.0 out of 5 stars Instructions June 3, 2005
By Roger
I just purchased this remote for my Canon EOS 20D. Incredibly, there was no manual included. While I think that I can sort it out, I did find this website that had instructions for the manual:

It's built very well and is easy to use. I'm glad I got it.

I almost bought a 3rd party device but decided to get the Canon version. Spend several thousand on camera body and glass, why not another 130.00 to get it straight from Canon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Although Canon products can be pricey - they do work as advetised. I have always wanted to be able to do time lapse photography, and this little baby gives me that option.
