This is essential in using your camera on a tripod! The tripod is only half of the stability. It is a deffinite must!

Great for portrait shots with a tripod

If you want to make certain that you have the BEST for your Canon DSLR, then buy the gear that matches the product. I tried an off brand and was not satisfied. Purchased this product and no problems to report.

This is a must have accesory. I can't believe I didn't buy this for this long. It made my life so much easier when taking pictures with a tripod specially at night. Would definitely recommend it.

[...] I hope to get many years out of this item.

I can't take good clear night or low light shots without a shutter release and this Canon device works as all Canon products do - well.

This is a great remote for anyone who likes taking photos but is on a limited budget. It is very easy to use, just plug it in and start shooting. I would recomend this remote to anyone who wants to take long exposure pictures or macro pictures and wants to get rid of camera shake. Simply plug it into the camera and it is ready to go.

Formerly known as a "cable release," this "Remote Switch" is mandatory for tripod mounted digital cameras to avoid camera shake at low shutter speeds and/or timed exposures.
However, you'll also need to acquire the Remote Wireless shutter release to more easily include yourself in a photo.

Nice to have, even if you have the IR remote.

This is a must when using a tripod for long exposure photography and works great with my EOS Rebel XTi.

The Canon RS-60 shutter release for Canon EOS cameras works very well.

It used to be called cable release, now it's called a remote switch. Be that as it may, you need one to minimize camera shake. Or you may want to be a distance from the camera when the shutter is released(great for portraiture when you have to prompt for smiles and you don't want to be hidden by the camera). I've even use the remote in certain hand-held situations, and of course always when the camera is on the tripod.
