5 Stars Simple and easy to use
I have had this for more than 1 year. It helps me to take quality pictures of moving objects.

5 Stars WORKS AS ADVERTISED
Used the remote to trigger my Canon SXI Rebel while on a tri pod. It works well with no problems. Use it when taking night shots where you have to have a low shutter speed.

5 Stars Gets the job done, great value
There is nothing particularly exceptional about this product (or any remote for that matter), but it gets 5 stars because it does its job and the price is unbeatable. This remote works with my XSi and I’m glad I went with this over a pricey Canon brand remote or the DIY option.

5 Stars Great Product.
Great product, no troubles at all, feels great. Delivery way before due date, so i was very surprised to recieve the package that early. No complaints here as i knew the cord was short… This device is just for not shaking your camera by pressing the shutter release, not for “long” self-shoots. It also locks, so great for “Bulb” shots. Works great with night and astro photography and whatever other app that requires rock-solid stability.

1 Star Waste of money in the long run
I bought this remote for my Canon XSi in December 08. By June 09 it was in the trash since it no longer worked. In that interim of about 6.5 months, I hardly used the thing. When I pulled it out to take some long exposures of waterfalls while on vacation the remote didn’t work at all. Push the button and nothing. So when it came to when I really needed it, it didn’t work. Absolute junk!

5 Stars Works exactly as I expected
I bought this remote to use for long exposures with my D60. It has one button which does exactly what you’d expect — opens and/or closes the shutter. Two minutes after I opened the package I was taking my first test shots, and that was only because I had to find the right settings on my camera. As some other reviews have pointed out, the remote has to be in line of sight with your camera’s sensor in order to work, but that is no great inconvenience for my needs.

5 Stars Great remote
Hi I have been taking pics for about 5 months now with a nikon D60, and just bought this remote and the first one they send was not working, but i simply requested a new one and the next day had one in my house and was working good, return service was perfect no problem at all…happy with the remote, go and get it for fun pics…

5 Stars Love it!
I bought this because it is so hard to get babies to laugh when they can’t see you…they will just stare at the camera and that’s about it. With this remote I just frame the shot and then go play with my son…when he smiles or starts laughing I just click the remote and I have the shot. Try doing that with a point and shoot digicam!

5 Stars This thing is AWESOME!!!
I love this little remote. It has come in very handy while my hubby is deployed I don’t like the fact that the camera doesn’t save the setting to use the remote, but that’s not this product’s fault lol. Very Happy with my purchase!

5 Stars Simple to use, does as it states
I use this with my D60 and within a few seconds I had things working great. Turned the camera to accept the remote and I was away. I have not had an issue yet with distance. I plan to use it more and more for the “family” pictures. Also looking at doing some stop motion. No longer I fall to the touching and slight shifting of the camera. The remote takes care of it.
