1 Star Waste of money in the long run
I bought this remote for my Canon XSi in December 08. By June 09 it was in the trash since it no longer worked. In that interim of about 6.5 months, I hardly used the thing. When I pulled it out to take some long exposures of waterfalls while on vacation the remote didn’t work at all. Push the button and nothing. So when it came to when I really needed it, it didn’t work. Absolute junk!

5 Stars WORKS AS ADVERTISED
Used the remote to trigger my Canon SXI Rebel while on a tri pod. It works well with no problems. Use it when taking night shots where you have to have a low shutter speed.

5 Stars Gets the job done, great value
There is nothing particularly exceptional about this product (or any remote for that matter), but it gets 5 stars because it does its job and the price is unbeatable. This remote works with my XSi and I’m glad I went with this over a pricey Canon brand remote or the DIY option.

5 Stars Simple and easy to use
I have had this for more than 1 year. It helps me to take quality pictures of moving objects.

5 Stars Great Product.
Great product, no troubles at all, feels great. Delivery way before due date, so i was very surprised to recieve the package that early. No complaints here as i knew the cord was short… This device is just for not shaking your camera by pressing the shutter release, not for “long” self-shoots. It also locks, so great for “Bulb” shots. Works great with night and astro photography and whatever other app that requires rock-solid stability.
