 Canon Wireless Remote Control November 3, 2005
11 out of 22 found this review helpful
Everything works fine. Except for one CRITICAL shortcoming. I'm a mountaineer and often take group shots outdoors. Sometimes the camera needs to be MORE than 16 feet from the group, because of rough terrain or desired angles. At that distance the remote would not work consistently, so I would have to walk closer to the camera to activate it. However, the remote / camera firmware replaces the 9-second countdown that the onboard camera timer has with only 2 seconds. Meaning that I have only 2 sconds to re-join the group. Forget it. I might as well just run from camera to group in 9 seconds.
I think this product was designed by engineers who never use or field test their own products.

i got this when i bought my EOS100 more than 10 years ago. i have since lost the clip that let you secure it to a strap or more likely it's at the bottom of a drawer some where in the house...
i'm glad it works with my EOS350D.
i also own the cabled RS-60E3 remote switch, and of course you can still use the self-timer to release the shutter. inevitably, this little piece of plastic has to be compared with the alternatives...
what i like about it:
- it's small.
- it's light.
- it has the delay option.
- it works with many EOS models, film and digital.
- no contact with camera
- no cable to dangle hence work better for very long exposure e.g. astrophotography
what i don't like about it:
- need to point it at the front of the camera to work. rather awkward if you are standing behind it. so, if you need to stand behind the camera to shoot long exposures or macros, get the cabled RS-60E3 or a homemade equivalent.
- needs a better mean to secure the thing. the clip didn't quite work for me because it got snared in all sort of things
- the IR windows seem to be rather narrow - makes you look funny when you stand in front of the camera waving the thing around and nothing happen.
- it requires a battery.
- a rather expensive piece of plastic at $25.
 Good remote October 18, 2005

The remote works great with my Digital Rebel. I can now take pictures with my tripod without shaking the camera (the shutter on the camera is a no-go for macro photography), and I like it better than using the delay shutter of the camera.
I suggest to attach the remote to the belt on the opposite side of the shutter button, to avoid it banging on the camera body when taking portrait pictures.
Overall I like the 2 seconds delay and immediate picture shot modes it offers.

Not only is this remote great for self-portraits but it's also a great help on nighttime shots. Even when my camera is mounted on a tripod, there is a slight wiggle whenever I press the shutter button. This remote enables me to activate the shutter without touching the camera. The result is a much crisper long exposure.
