Thumb sized? That makes sense.

With a snazzy little clip thing for your camera strap? Sure.

But black?

Yeah, because when you drop that into a hedge it's going to be real easy to find again.

Yup, the second casualty of my camera life was my little Canon remote control. (The first was a tripod in Dublin, remember?). There I was clicking away and minding my own business, when suddenly fickle lady luck played a hand and my little remote shot off to join the land of the bogs and bushes that is Donegal.

Pain in the...

I didn't realise how much I depended on it until it was gone. Needless to say I had to order a new one.

Now to find a big piece of reflective tape or a "come find me" beeper thing for it...

And do you know what the worst bit of it was? The last picture I took with it wasn't even that great.
