Spend $1 at a Dollar Store and get a functional shutter release cord for your Canon Digital Rebel! Apparently someone has found that a cheap Nokia hands free cord kit works as a shutter release cord for the Digital Rebel. The Mute button on the cord works as the shutter release. This particular unit was discovered at a local dollar store.

So... Has anyone actually bought it and tried it? Does it really work? Will it work on the 20-D?

I believe the 20D uses the same N-3 connector as the 10D, so the answer in that case is: no.

Nah....unfortunately not.

The 20D uses the 3 pin controller.

edit: "missed it by...that much"

I bought a remote release for my 20D off Ebay for $20...$4.00 shipping. Took 3 days to get here from California..and works PERFECT! Alot better than paying $69.00 at Wolf Camera.
