EDIT: The questions refer to a video camera with remote, not a still camera with remote.

1st question should have "dodgy if in the wrong hands."

I've said I've got one, but actually our old Sony camcorder with a remote died recently and the replacement Cannon doesn't have one.

I didn't specifically buy a camera with a remote, it just came with one. Didn't use it much, but it was useful. Especially when watching tapes on the TV, so we could sit back on the sofa and fast fwd, etc in comfort.

Every year for Xmas we put the video camera on a tripod to record the kids opening their presents, it was useful for that too.

TBH, it never occured to me this was dodgy until now. I think it may all be in your twisted little mind :o)

Camcorder remote can be useful for playback. Still camera remote... not so much.

The RC1 was the first accessory I bought for my SLR. I have often wondered who apart from trannies buys them.
