Can you do time lapse or wireless remote shooting with a 300D?

If not "in-camera" is there an accessory for doing time lapse or remote
control shooting?
Thanks.

 

Canon makes the RC-1 and RC-5 infrared remote controls. They also make
a wired remote control - I don't know the model.

 

The wired remote for the Digital Rebel /300D is the "RS-60E3" available
from B&H:

There are many other vendors on-line & some of the larger camera shops
might carry this accessory as well. If I recall correctly both the RC-1 &
RC-5 IR remotes will also work with the Digital Rebel /300D however you will
need to be in the line of sight of the front of the camera to use them since
the IR sensor is located on the hand grip facing forward. Yes the optical
signal could be bounced off a mirror to allow you to operate it from a
different location. A hand held laser pointer will work well to help you
line up a mirror.

Don't know what your intent is but there are other options including RF
remote control to trigger it as well but that's quite expensive unless you
build / adapt your own for this application. If this is something you are
interested in let me know since I plan to build both a programmable
time-lapse unit & RF remote shutter release for use on a different camera
but the principle would be the same & could be used on the Digital Rebel
/300D or almost any camera. This is 1 of my winter projects & I would be
willing to share this information if it might be helpful to you.

An additional note, if your into basic electronics you might wish to
consider building your own wired remote or maybe have a friend do so for you
