Expertise: Expert
Pros: simple to use, supports ordinary and bulb exposure
Cons: does not replace a cable release for mlu control
"The RC-6 remote control works exactly as specified with the 7D, however therein there is a problem.
When operated by the remote the mirror lockup custom function is essentially ignored, unless the RC-6 is set to a 2 second delay. This means it is not possible to use the RC-6 as one would the shutter button or a cable release, i.e. one press to lockup the mirror and another to release the shutter, in this sense the RC-6 adds nothing over the internal camera timer with MLU enabled.
However, normal operation and even bulb release operates as expected.
It is a shame the behaviour with MLU has been so unnecessarily crippled by Canon. It is often desirable to use MLU and time the shutter release, perhaps for a lull in wind etc. If this functionally is essential to you get one of the cable releases."

"This supposedly replaces the RC-1 and RC-5 Canon remotes which are discontinued lines. It works well over short distances which is what I needed it for, but if you want to do bulb exposures then you'll need something else - I bought the Canon RS-80N3 for my Canon 7D for this. Size is handy and it comes in a little case."
