4 out of 5 stars Does the job, doubts about longevity   September 14, 2008
Got an identical set on eBay from the source in China for $25, free shipping.

Pro: works! The receiver uses AAA batteries, easy to find.

Con: not build to last. Using duck-tape to keep things together might not be a stretch in the future. The controller uses an odd size battery, maybe expensive to replace. The controller doesn't have a on/off switch. So I take the battery out when not in use.

Look on eBay and it's not hard to find. I am not a seller or in anyway related to the seller(s).



5 out of 5 stars Works as advertised AND WILD FUN   August 3, 2008
This tiny little thing works very well. Used it on a Canon 20D and a 40D. Those who experienced dead batteries on arrival, I wonder if they noticed the near-invisible, ultra-thin hard plastic one of the batteries was wrapped in. I too, thought the battery was dead, until, a little upset, I finally noticed the thin layer of shiny plastic over the contacts. The silly stuff covered the whole battery; and so tightly, you don't even notice it's there, and it doesn't prevent the battery from being inserted!


5 out of 5 stars Great Remote   August 1, 2008
Pros:
It works well
has good range
decent size
SUPPORTS BULB! (turn off auto focus, then hold the button until the light turns off(about 2 seconds) then just hit the button again when you are done with the exposure.)

Cons:
the button on the remote is VERY sensitive for autofocusing(not too bad) but be careful when you are doing a bulb exposure because you could easily end it
Speaking of bulb exposures, the light on the remote is really bright, make sure you cover it or aim away from your long exposures

Overall the build quality is good and it works very well. I just wish canon would stop being so cheap and add an internal receiver to their cameras so that i dont have to have a stupid dongle hanging from the camera.



1 out of 5 stars Piece of trash   May 29, 2008
i wasted my money, it work only some times and only a couple feet of distance, very dissapointed.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money, works as advertised   April 4, 2008

I have the exact same remote, but I didn't buy it from Adorama, I bought it from Link-Delight in Hong Kong on eBay for $27 including shipping to the US. Works great, am very happy with the product, especially that it has user-replaceable batteries. Can't beat it for the price!
