Title: Canon Wireless remote for 5DMKII
Post by: mike.online on October 12, 2008, 11:48:16 pm

For the new Canon 5DMkII, does it have the wireless receiver built in, for the remote shutter release? Is it like the RebelXT where only the clicker (held in hand) is needed, or is it more like the 30D where both the clicker and a receiver (which plugs into the camera) need to be bought ?

The specs state "Remote Control: Remote control with N3-type terminal. (Wireless remote controller RC-1/RC-5 can also be used.)
So I would say the receiver is built in!!!!
