 Highly recommended if you are serious about photography January 31, 2007

The remote switch is very useful if you want to take pictures without introducing any camera shake. This is particularly handy when taking long exposure shots. Even with the help of a tripod, I found that shots taken at night had some amount of blur because of the small amount of camera movement while pressing the shutter release button and then moving the hand away. To avoid this problem, I was always forced to use delayed exposure and unnecessarily wait 10 seconds for each shot.
The remote switch is the perfect solution to this problem because I can take shots in quick succession without even touching the camera. The best part about the remote switch is that it seamlessly replaces all the functions of the actual shutter release button. This includes automatic focus feature when the button is depressed halfway. Shots can be taken in continuous and remote modes in addition to the single-shot mode. I also like the lock feature that really helps during bulb exposures (longer than 30 seconds) because I don't have to hold the shutter release button down all through the exposure. The cord connecting the switch to the camera is quite short though, so you can't really use it to take self-portraits. The design is very sleek. The cord can be neatly wrapped around the switch itself, using the two slots on the side to hold the cord and prevent it from unraveling. Canon has even thought of providing a socket at the bottom to plug in the connector during storage.
A little bit of Googling will give you a few sites where you can make your own remote control using a flip switch, a few wires and a 2.5mm stereo miniplug. However, seeing the cool features on this nifty gadget, I would recommend getting this one instead.
It does the work just fine January 16, 2007

This is a shutter release cable meant to just release the shutter, no extra tricks. As far as i tried, for astrophotography, it works just as I expected. The camera doesn't move at all, and the shutter can remain locked for as many minutes, even hours, as you wish. Even though the cable would be more comfortable if it were longer, still isn't uncomfortable; it works just fine and deserves the five stars. No downsides.
Really Nice Addition January 9, 2007
This is a great product if you are taking picture where having in which you want the camera perfectly still. It is simple and therefore less likely to break. A must have for shots that require a slow shutter speed.

ive used this product about twice and dont really have any major complaints. my pictures came out great. i used it at a drag strip and needed it for taking pictures of the cars flying by at nighttime and i was able to capture them nicely due to no camera shake (using a tripod of course as well). the only thing i dont particularly like is that it goes into the lock position quite easily taking extra pictures that arent needed, and also the small hole for the wire to be inserted in for packing doesnt really hold it that well and the wire just kinda unravels, but i would recommend it to anyone who has a need for it.
