Got exactly what I was hoping for. The G12 has a hair trigger on the shutter, and when shooting HDR or pseudo-miniature shots (or Macros, for that matter), even the slightest movement of the body ruins the shot. This remote allows me to get the shot and mirrors the on-body controls. Click, focus and hold functions work well.

Hm, let me think, do I spend $xx on Canon's release or $xx/1.77 on Adorama's? The answer is Adorama! It plugs in, you can go to the focus position and then trip the shutter. It can also be locked on. Just as good as Canon and nearly half the price/

This thing just works, and works reliably. That's all you can really ask for from an item like this.

I mostly use this when I hook the camera to a T-mount and shoot through my telescope. Focus is manual with a knob and holding this in my left hand I can manipulate the scope with my right and take great long distance shots. Fits in hand, I can use it with gloves. Only thing that could make it better is if it had a retractable cord.

Excellent buy

I bought one of these for my XTi due to the good reviews. I do like it, however it occasionally misfires (ie - fires when I'm not even touching the button). Not too big a deal, but extremely annoying. Maybe I just got a bad one. Sometimes it seems to lock up too and I have to unplug/replug it for it to work. When I do this it tends to misfire as soon as I plug it back in.
I recommend it nonetheless for the photographer on a tight budget. I will likely replace it with a Canon remote in the future.

The only downside I can think of is that the cord is too short. Yes, I knew full well it was only 3ft long. In most cases, 3ft is plenty long, but when photographing children in the studio, I like to be able to get down on their level and interact with them. With a long release cable, I can't be right down in the mix and not tethered to the camera.

My next remote release will be wireless, but this one will stay in the bag as a back up.

Great for studio work/macro. The cord maybe too short for many outdoor situations.It does what is needs to do.

I use the remote release when my camera is on a tripod. I want to make sure there is on camera shake. This remote seems to work great.

It only makes sense to have this in your bag. I always used a cable release for my film cameras, so why wouldn't I want to use this product. It's even more important now with the lightness of the new equipment. If you don't have one get one.

I used a cable release religiosly with my film camera, so why wouldn't it make sense to use a remote trigger device with digital.

i am writing this review on my mother's behalf. i purchased this switch for her, after using one myself made for my 20D for a few years now. she loves it. 'just like i love mine. if you use a tripod, you have a need for this switch, so buy it. you'll be happy with the purchase.

Bought this product to help stabilize camera when using AEB function for creating HDR exposures. Great product for the price. Functions duplicate the shutter button, press halfway then all the way to take photo. Excellant product.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Digital Remote Release with 36" Cable for Canon EOS Rebel XT/XTi/XSi Digital Cameras (2.5 Mini Plug):

This is an awesome KIND of product for uses where you don't want camera shake (macro, low-light, portrait, etc), but I am less than pleased with this particular model. It does work as advertised, and works quite well, but the area where the extension cable enters the remote is so weak, the attachment so shoddy, that it pulled out (taking the wires, and thus all functionality) after probably 5 hours of gentle use. If you get one, make sure you have some epoxy on hand to repair that junction before the wires are completely pulled out...and if you want to try to repair it, there are micro-screws under the shiny label on the back, so you don't have to mutilate it trying to open it.
In summary, if the thing would hold together, it would be the ideal inexpensive version of this kind of product. As is, however, it needs improvement. It's just too bad I tossed the warranty card!

It works perfectly on my XTI. I did find a need for a little longer cord as others mentioned, but overall it works fine. I had been using the IR remote but this is much better as I dont have to be in front of the camera to use it. I only wish I had gotten it sooner. Good product [...]

Prevents camera shake cheaper than the canon switch.

This remote worked perfectly on my Canon XTi (400D). I am very pleased. I use it for macro and landscape shots. As others have stated a longer cord would be nice, however I easily cured the problem with an extension 8' cord [@]

The remote controller did not work with my Rebel XTi. It would allow the camera to run the auto focus and set the exposure, but it would not trigger the shutter release. Tried everything I could think of to make it work and nothing helped. [...].

Comments about Adorama Adorama Digital Remote Release with 36" Cable for Canon EOS Rebel XT/XTi/XSi Digital Cameras (2.5 Mini Plug):

Works quite well, no problems. A longer cord would be a nice option (6 to 8 feet). Standing right next to the camera makes it more a 'hands off' shutter control rather than a true 'remote'. Even with this limitation it improves macro and close up work by reducing camera jiggle.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Digital Remote Release with 36" Cable for Canon EOS Rebel XT/XTi/XSi Digital Cameras (2.5 Mini Plug):

Product works very well, and with the exception of how short it is you can purchase a longer cord by buying a stereo mini plug headphone cord that is 15 feet long.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Digital Remote Release with 36" Cable for Canon EOS Rebel XT/XTi/XSi Digital Cameras (2.5 Mini Plug):

This cable release is exactly what I wanted. It allows use of a long lens on a tripod without the shake that occurs when the shutter is released.
The only improvement I would like to see is either a longer cable or the availability of an extender cable. This would allow you to be other than right next to the camera while shooting.
