Dont really use a cable release as i dont own one, but sometimes I use an exposure delay and a timed release of 5sec. Easily used with static subjects, but obviously completely useless with animals or insects, or even when the subject is moved by wind......
Personally, I cant see the need for a cable release, as i can only really see it being practical with live view cameras. (Or with the computer software that canon cameras come with automatically.......)
