 Doesn't like cold weather January 2, 2009
I've had really good luck with this little convenient remote so I bought one for my daughter. Didn't work :( Looked for a phone number to see if I was doing something wrong or perhaps didn't fit her Xti. Saw a notitaton 'if batteries are cold may not work' Right they are, put the batteries in my pocket presto** they work :)
Great, but.... January 2, 2009

I purchased this remote for my husband for use with his Digital Rebel (And for ME to use with HIS Digital Rebel).
This remote is great for many reasons. First, it works. Not only does it work, but it's extremely easy to manage and has a bunny slope learning curve, unlike my TC80N3. But that's a different show, Oprah...
It's also cheap as can be. It's so cheap, in fact, you can't lose. Ok, sure, it's twenty bucks, which could pay for some gas or a few cheap and fattening lunches, but it's ONLY twenty bucks and it's a Canon. Does anything else by Canon come this cheap? At this price buy two! I just wish it worked for my 40D.
My next point is both a pro AND a con: Its size. It's teeny weeny. The good: it's small enough to fit in your pocket. The bad: it's small enough to get lost ANYWHERE. The ugly: it has no hole or other way in which to rig it/tie it and the cover/clip thingie which supposedly clips to your camera strap to keep it handy is really not sufficient in my book.
My only real complaint is this: I found that if the remote remains idle for 4 minutes or more it "sleeps" and you must "awaken" the camera for the remote to work again. That is a huge p.i.t.a. when you want to pick it up and click when the moment grabs you, but it is what it is... If one could somehow override this little problem then this remote would be the bomb. This little problem is the reason I rated the remote 4 stars instead of 5.
My mom always said, "You get what you pay for." She's right. And as long as you know what you're paying for, and you're willing to give up some creativity and sustained impulsivity (I realize that last thing may seem like an oxymoron, but just go with me here), then you just can't go wrong.
 Great Product December 26, 2008
Great price. Works great. I have an Xti. Used it to get a family picture for christmas.
Works as advertised, and delived as promised! December 25, 2008
Great little remote. Attaches to your camera strap, and has settings for immediate shutter release, or shutter delay. No issues setting up camera (Canon XSI). I am a little worried that I will not turn off the remote before re-attaching to the strap clip, so not sure about battery life yet.
"Must have" value priced accessory for tripod mounted shake-free shooting. Recently used for a series of HDR compositions and was very pleased with the results.
Delivered as promised by Amazon.

This is a cool tool for your canon camera. It makes taking portraits a whole lot easier by not being tied to the camera. It also makes it much easier to be in the picture.
