Digital camera Review: Does one thing well
Summary: 4 Stars
Aside form the fact that Canon charges an arm and a leg for a 1 dollar piece of plastic, the remote switch does work well. It does not feel very sturdy and does not seem nearly as well built as the Canon cameras. People with big hands may have a little trouble using this product. Overall, a "must have" addition for anyone interested in long exposures, images with excellent sharpness and depth of field.Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my Canon EOS 40D. The cable is a little short which is fine for me, but if you need some distance from the camera you'll need the extension cable or a wireless remote instead.
The button responds well and slides up into a detent to allow for prolonged exposures (bulb setting) without having to hold the button yourself. Unfortunately, it does this so easily I'm always getting the button stuck down without realizing it. Since I bought this for astrophotography, I just have to remember this so when I try to set up the next shot I'm not fumbling around with the camera trying to figure out why it's not working!
Digital camera Review: Does the job but very poor built.
Summary: 2 Stars
It works; does the job. It looks good. However, it looks so fragile that I can't keep it out of plastic bubble wrapping. I feel like it's gonna fail me on the field one day or another--scary. Super expensive considering it's very cheap plastic-made and only contain a wire and a push-pull button. I wanted to build one myself but of course Canon used a special plug/socket that I couldn't find on the market. If you can find a third party one, go for it!Digital camera Review: Does what it is supposed to do....
Summary: 4 Stars
It does what it's supposed to do. Nothing more, nothing less. If it were a little cheaper, I would have given it 5 stars.Digital camera Review: Does what it needs to do but a bit pricey
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading reviews of cheaper (less expensive) aftermarket versions of this device I decided to spend the extra money and get the Canon branded item. Works perfect but then it should for such a simple device for this much money. I took one star off for the excessive price.
