Rating: 10

Time with product: 1 Week

Strengths: One word - Very easy to use it.

Weaknesses: So far none

Summary: I bought this as an accessory to my first DSLR Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. I love it so much as it prevented camera shacking while taking photos. I should have bought this at the same time I bought my Camera. I used the camera with out this in two my daughter's preschool events. I got some shaky photos. Since I started using this so far I didn't get any shaky photos.And also I am having fun taking very good photos with this while holding my camera in my palm and taking photos in different positions which is very difficult with out this. Overall I am very satisfied with this.

Strengths: A Must have

Weaknesses: Short cable

Summary: Everyone whose primary purpose for his/her DSLR is to take pictures of babies must know the need for a remote shutter release. This remote is a bit expensive compared to other generic devices that can be purchased at Ebay, but, look, it's genuine Canon. Much sturdier and slicker indeed. Great product.

Strengths: Compact, simple

Weaknesses: Fragile

Summary: EDIT: I originally gave this a 5-star rating, but this item stopped working after only a few months of use. I replaced it with an Adorama remote switch which has been working wonderfully for about a year and a half now.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I don't think there's much one could say about this product. But that's a good thing. It's made to accomplish a single task and it does that job very well. There's nothing fancy to worry about. It just plain works.Some have complained about the cord length, but I find it to be about the perfect length for my own use. I'm using this mainly for nature and landscapes, not portraits or self portraits, so maybe that's why.

Strengths: 1. Simple2. Light

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: This remote is the most simple remote out there. It only has one button and thus, anyone can use it without their brain. Some people say it's easy to break, however, I don't think that's the case because remote is just a tool for tripod photos. I don't think it will break unless you abuse it.The weight and size of the remote is small. The only thing that I can say about this is probably it will be better if the wire is longer.
