not a big deal really

To be fair, you can't turn off the genuine Canon TC-80N3 either.
I keep my battery in there, but reversed, it's perfectly usable as a remote switch without power. If I want timer functions, then I just take the battery out, reverse it, and use it as intended.

Damn - there are a few that at least look like original Tc-80n3 by top sellers and cost <$50.
Where I live, it costs $200+ w/ all taxes included.

Thanks to all!

Used to be the Pearstone ShutterBoss, which is the one I got, but this one should be identical.
Edit: Actually, I wanted to control a Rebel as well, so I got the Rebel version (sub-mini jack) and sacrificed a cheap N3 remote and made a sub-mini-to-N3 adapter. They might sell such an adapter nowadays, though.

for some rebels there was/is a hacked firmware with a solid intervalometer included

I had a Canon Wired Remote from my Rebel/Elan 7 days and converted it to use on the 5D2. I bought the following adapter with an "N3" plug on the end (see link below). Then I picked up a 2.5mm (F) to 3.5mm (M) stereo converter from Radio Shack for buck or two. I connected one into the other and it worked without a problem! :)
