I needed an extra remote cable. This one works as well as my canon cable, but at a more reasonable price.

This little remote is very comparable to the Canon version that costs many times more. Does exactly as advertised, and seems durable.

For the price it's a good product. It feels a little cheap but so far works just fine.

The remote works perfectly. Was surprised to discover a partial click engages the auto-focus on the camera. No complaints...but that might have been noted in the product description. Also, it might be helpful to have a 2nd version of the product with, say, a 12 foot cord for a few bucks more. Generally, good product.

It works ok. Does not plug in to your Camera very easy. Fell out once on me and did not work twice for me. Just make sure you have it plugged in correctly. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for that.

It works for my Canon 7D. The cable looks not sturdy. For the price it's worth buying if you are not a frequent user.

It works. Very simple design, no reason to buy a more expensive one IMO. My only criticism is that the button isn't very large and is inside of the hold switch. If someone has big fingers, it will be more difficult to use. Even I will sometimes accidentally push it into "lock." Good overall.

Well I guess it's not any better than the Canon equivalent but it is less expensive which does make it better IMHO.

Very disappointed! I shoot thousands of images, so I use my equipment and depend on it to work. This lasted like a snowball in a hot skillet! It might be okay if you are very casual about your photography, but it was too lightweight for what I do. It lasted two trips out....probably 5,000 shots.

This release came with my Canon 50D and at first I didn't have much use for it but then I started doing night shots and it worked perfectly. I've used the Canon version and it's certainly not worth the extra $ With the money you save you can buy a case of Guinness so that's a no brainer No there are no instructions but it's not rocket science. To those who had a hard time figuring it out...you can run a microwave can't you?

I have used this remote release to minimize vibrations caused by depressing the shutter release on the camera body and to lock open the shutter for lengthy "bulb" exposures at night.

[...]. Expect the wires to break where they go into the release button due to poor design. I modified mine after it went bad and will probably last a lifetime now.

I had read some negative comments about this item but decided to try anyway as have been very happy with what Adorama sells, when received found that worked EXACTLY LIKE SUPPOSE TO, cannot figure out what all of negative comments were about as I have found nothing wrong with this and absolutely love it when used for what intended for.

The Adorama Digital Remote Release hasn’t given me any trouble. It might feel cheep and plasticy, but so does the Canon original. One of my favorite things about this unit is the mini phone jack it has built in. It’s perfect for connecting a Pocket Wizard and firing the camera remotely. And it does it without me having to buy any new cables from Pocket Wizard.

I didn't really get a change to really use this product since it did not work when attached to my new Canon EOS 40D. The remote release came along with a package so I can't complain. It's lightweight and simple to hook up but trying to figure out how it worked was a little difficult. I'm still trying to figure out how it works since it was able to auto focus the camera but when you press the release button, it doesn't take the photo. It would be a good product if it would function like intuition.

I am giving this four stars because you can't expect much for the cost of this thing. If your expectations are realistic, this isn't a bad product. You get what you pay for. I didn't expect anything great so I wasn't disappointed when I hooked this up to my 40D and had trouble with it at first. I wasn't aware that I would need the GI Joe Kung Fu grip to get the camera to fire. Once I figured out that I need to squeeze the trigger so hard that my fingers turn blue everything worked fine. I only need this for occasional product photography and macro work so its fine for me. I just have to remember to carry along a vice grip when I setup my shoot :)

Cheap and no instuctions

Works as it should and is much cheaper than the cordless remote.

Simple, easy to use product. What's not to like?

The thing only lasted a few months then separated where the wire goes in.

This remote release is a lot less expensive than the Canon brand one. The Canon brand one seems easier and more confortable to hold and use. This one has click when pressing the button, as oppossed to the noiseless Canon one. But for the monet savings, this is a great product for my Canon 30D digital camera. The info leaves out 30D, but when I called Adorama they assurred me that it works on the 30D, and it does.

I have not used the Canon brand remote so I'm not sure what the differences in features or functionality are. This units funcitons fine. However, it doesn't come with any instructions or labeling what so ever. So I'm not sure about the time telay described in the product's description. There is also a sub-mini jack on the side of the remote that must do something, but who know since it's not labeled.

nice to have a cheaper alternative to the original OEM product from Canon but the cable is almost the same ridiculous "length" !!!(making you want to buy the nice extension cord for the sleek amount of $[...] !!!)
