BTW, I noticed Mark Roberts using his infra red remote release @ GFM and it got me thinking about using it with my 600/*ist D combo. I picked up a remote a while ago (cheap @ $20). I'm about to set out for a week long shoot and will hopefully get a chance to give the remote a workout with that combo.
