I hate to rate this too low, because I’m sure that the product is great for it’s intended use. However, I was looking for a remote control so that we could shoot a family photo in front of the Christmas tree. I assumed that this would be the item, but when I received it I realized that I would need a ten-foot long arm to accomplish my task as the cable is very short … only about a foot long or so. My bad. I then purchased the Wireless remote RC1 for Digital Rebel, (also from Amazon), and love it. This one, however, is basically used for keeping the camera steady on a tripod so that you are not actually pressing a button on the camera. Great for that purpose … just a heads up to anyone looking for a way to take pictures with you in it … this is not your item (unless you want a picture of you nostrils close up). I’m keeping mine in case I ever need to do just that … you never know.

Well the first part of the title for this product is true $25 for this is a rip off.It is the size of a bic lighter and about a well made, for this it gets three stars max. I have not used it yet but even if it works $25 for this? I was forworned by other reviewers but I was to gun shy to make my own, their are many post on the www on how to do it your self and save some coin you can put towards one of their $1,500 len.
So this is another one of those situations where canon rips you off.
so it goes, you need a cable release if you use a tripod.

The product works as advertised, but anytime I purchase something for X dollars and after receiving it, realize that it probably cost the Chinese manufacturer less than 10% of the retail cost to produce it, I’m disappointed. It shouldn’t cost more that $3.98.

This product is a great gadget for you Cannon EOS Cameras if you want to do portraits or it is going to be your main camera. It helps with portraits because the camera stays steady and wont jerk around on the trypod. Also it helps you get in Christmas photos and bypasses messing with the tymer.

I bought the Canon remote switch because of need. What I wanted was a wireless remote. Why Canon doesn’t offer a wireless remote is puzzling and frustrating. I am a loyal Canon customer, but this was a stupid decision on their part. It works perfectly well and is nicely made, but it’s not wireless, so I will never be satisfied.
