Great switch - love it
from Vero Beach, FL on 5/22/2008
I mostly use the release for macro and table top set-ups, but it would come in handy if you were doing time exposures or self-portraits. you would need to buy the extension for self-portraits cause the cord is pretty short.
it seems a little expensive to me for what it is, but all in all it works...that's what counts!

Very Good. A must have for slow shudder speeds. Great for getting good movement in your photographs.
from Osseo, WI on 3/9/2008
It does what it is intended for. Great for any shot that you have time to set up for minimizing camera shake.

I use this remote with my Canon 40D and it works exactly as advertised!
from NE OK on 1/21/2008
Just what I needed
from Warsaw, NY on 1/21/2008
It funcions as designed but needs to be a true remote,...it's too short and for another [$] u can have 30 more feet,...why not make it a true remote at that price OR LESS!!!! The accessories add up fast but their value drops just as fast once u own them,....especially if you're trying to sell any.

for shooting product shots under limited lighting you need the ability to keep the shutter open for long periods of time. for those who don't need the features on the more expensive version, but just need a way to remotely release the shutter, this unit does the trick.

This product is an absolute essential for macro, still-life (with mirror lock-up), telephoto photography (non action/sports) and much studio photography (product/pack shot etc)[...] Mirror lock-up does not work effectively when using the self timer (or at least, on the EOS 5D it doesn't) when the shutter is tripped, almost immediately after the mirror swings up permitting vibration to effect the exposure.

Due to its short cord, this accomplishes nothing that can't be done with the built-in timer. For what it costs, a 10-12' (three meter) cord should be standard. That's an absolute necessity for group shots without an assistant, and for including the photographer in the photo. Other manufacturers understand this, and some include cheap, wireless remote capability, even in their bottom-end consumer bodies. Canon, you really dropped the ball on this one.

Works like an extension of the shutter release on the camera. Gone is camera shake for telephoto shots, close ups and bulb exposures.
from Snohomish, WA on 7/10/2007
I used it on 4th of July for taking firworks shots and it worked great.

Works great for slow shutter speeds.
from Hazlet, NJ on 3/26/2007
Very easy to use, especially when you want a good, steady picture. The one downside is, you would think the extension cord would be included. BUT then again, everything Canon makes is a bit pricey!
from Sedona, AZ on 2/12/2007
I could use a center located button with a longer overall handle to use it "upside down". Some occasions call for the control cable to drop down instead of in front of my face at the camera.

The wired remote switch works fine. It is nice to be able to mount the camera on a tri-pod and hook up the remote switch and be able to capture steady pictures in low light using a slow shutter speed and no blur.
from Charlotte, NC on 2/6/2007
This remote works great on my Canon 30D!
