CANON S5 IS for STOP MOTION ANIMATION?

Question

What is remote control thing in a digicam? is it a feature inside the camera or something that my hands can hold? Kindly explain what is remote control thing in the camera world... because all i know bout remote control is the remote control of my tv... is it also like that in the cmera world? i mean could my hands hold the cameras remote control and control it WIRELESSLY?

i need to know if canon s5 is has remote control or if it could have because i will really need it when doing stop motion animation...

i could not always press my camera because the animation will look jittery...

also can i just plug the canon s5 in my pc using its usb cable of course, and be able to use my pc's monitor as a viewfinder and controller, or even use my television as a viewfinder and controller?

GUYS HELP! I'M ABOUT TO BUY THIS CANON S5 IS! I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THINGS! THANKS!... thanks really....

Answer 1

I haven't come across a digicam with a remote control - have you thought of getting one with a cable release?
