okie.. dun all the remotes function the same? why is it the wireless one is used for portraits and the other for macro?

[slleong]

I think all can be used for portrait but the wireless one is good for self-portrait.

There are 2 wireless remotes (RC-1 and RC-5) and 1 wired remote (RS-60E3) for EOS 300D and 350D.

The RC-5 is wider and very flat and has only one button. Pressing the remote’s shutter release button triggers the camera in 2 seconds

whereas

the RC-1 remote is about the size of a small packet of chewing gum and has a three-settings slider switch next to its shutter release button. L (lock) is off, dot means the camera triggers immediately and 2 means the camera triggers in 2 seconds. You can attach the RC-1 to your camera strap using the included plastic clip.
