Product Description
From the Manufacturer
A compact remote switch with a 2.6-foot (80 centimeter) cable to prevent camera shake for super telephoto shots, macro photography, and bulb exposures. Handy for taking pictures of subjects that are difficult to approach, or to minimize vibration for close-ups and time exposure.
The remote switch works just like a shutter button, enabling halfway or complete pressing. It also has a shutter-release lock. With the EOS-3's Custom Function No. 12 (mirror lockup), camera shake can be further reduced.
Compatible with Canon models EOS-3, 1V HS/1V, 1D, 1Ds, 1D Mark II, 10D, 20D, D30, D60, and D2000.

I initially bought this switch to be able to take fireworks pictures with my 30D on a tripod. It worked well for this application. Got some GREAT shots of the fireworks. Have since used it for some wildlife photos and it works well in this application also. The cord from the camera to the switch is only about two feet long. Sufficient for use on a tripod, but perhaps just a little short for any other application for the switch.
I consider it "overpriced" for what it is, but if you need a manually operated remote switch, it performs this function well. The release button has an option where you can lock-it "ON". It's useful if you what to leave your camera's shutter open for a long exposure.
I didn't research any other brands of remote switches for my Canon 30D. There may be others, but I was in a hurry to have something before the 4th of July, and just ordered it, since I knew is was suppose to work with my camera.
It performs it's intended design function. It's overpriced, in my estimation, but if you need one, this one will perform the job.

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.

I saw a knockoff of this remote selling for $14 on Ebay. I thought it was better to be safe than sorry - surely the extra $35 Canon sells this remote for means that you're paying for quality. Right?
Wrong. This is nothing but a cheap piece of plastic with a short wire attached to it. It feels like you could break the switch in your own hands if you press hard enough.
Despite the ridiculous price tag, the remote allows for some beautiful long exposures when used with a tripod. The shutter lock is also a nice feature.
All in all, it's nice to own this piece of equipment...although you're not getting anything extra with the Canon name.

Amazon did great. However...
The reviewers pointing out how over priced this is are correct. I didn't want to risk it on a cheaper remote for my high end body, but the Canon unit itself feels pretty cheap. Read more

Does not fit my new EOS 60D
This specifically says it is for a Canon 60D camera, but the plug is not the same. The plug on my 60D is the same as a T2i, or a EOS rebel.

Canon quality

It does the job, but does it have to be so big?
I have always been a big believer in cable/remote releases. I use a tripod whenever possible and a remote trigger is essential when you want to eliminate any chance of vibrations. Read more
