This is a for your information post.
I bought a Canon RC-1 wireless remote control on ebay. It was described as being compatible with the 300D and 350D. It arrived and I couldn't get it to work. I checked the firmware version on the camera. It was 1.02. From the Canon site I found that version 1.03 fixed a bug which prevented the controller working as well as a couple of other issues. After installing the fix I now have the remote working and am a happy camper.
If you have any problems accessing the download PM me and I can put it up on my site.

This firmware update incorporates the following improvements:

1. Fixes the phenomenon of shots being unable to be taken when using the remote controller RC-1.
2. Fixes the phenomenon wherein the camera continues to scroll through images being played back.
3. Improves reliability in communication when using some CF cards.

This firmware update applies to cameras with firmware versions up to 1.0.2 installed. By installing this update, the phenomena will be fixed, and the affected cameras can be used without these problems. If your camera's firmware is already version 1.0.3, it is not necessary to perform this update.

Cheers for that info. I have the same camera and remote, only bought it recently and noticed that the remote only works intermittently. It is really annoying. I wonder if this might fix my issues with it fingers crossed. Thanks
