Switch Accessible Digital Cameras

Switch access for top-notch digital cameras? It seems that the Canon EOS camera range can be controlled via a remote wired switch. It uses an attachment very similar to those used by accessibility switches, with my guess being that it's a 2.5mm stereo plug connector.
In theory it should be possible to knock up a simple adaptation for accessibility switch compatibility. I've contacted Canon who I hope will get back to me shortly.
Meanwhile you can find more on switch accessible cameras here.

Had this response from Canon:
"Thank you for contacting Canon.
With regards to your query, the two stage button on the remote switch operates a lot like the shutter release button on the EOS 350D or any other camera in the EOS range. Additionally, there is a third stage where you can lock down the button when setting the shutter on bulb or for continuous shooting."
Sounds like with a bit of adaptation accessibility switches could be used to take photos with a high-quality camera.
