Yes it is possible, but you need the TIME REMOTE CONTROLLER TC -80N3.

I find this to be one of the best accesories for a Canon camera.

I'm not sure but I think you can also do it with the camera tethered to a laptop

The Timer Remote can definatly do it.

Another option is to tether, with something like this software http://www.breezesys.com/DSLRRemotePro/index.htm

I havn't used it personally, but looks interesting for tethering.

Regards

Mark.

thanks im going to be setting it up then leaving the scene, the camera will be safe but just need to know i can leave it and when i return it will have taken the timed exposures. laptop solution is a bit impratical but ill keep in mind for the future, timer looks like the best option

I wouldn't leave it anywhere too visible, otherwise someone might get a Christmas present...
