The Opteka Timer Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital XTi is just as they market it, an alternative to its big brother that only works on the more expensive bodies. Since Canon only makes those, they have decided not to build one for the amateur bodies - so Opteka did.

This one works as designed for my Canon EOS XTi and I have used it numerous times in the past few weeks that I have had it. Since I am an amateur photographer, it is taking me a bit to get up to speed on all the intricacies of what this device does for the photographer, however so far - I am impressed.

I also have the Opteka battery pack and two batteries, which has held up wonderfully. If you are looking for a good product with this type of functionality, you wont be disappointed with your purchase.

I purchased this to go along with my Canon G10 to do time lapse photography and it works perfectly. This is a great easy to use tool.

The quality is as good as the Canon timer for the 40d and the operation feels the same in terms of programming.

I am quite happy with it.

I bought this timer remote for my Canon Rebel Xti due to the fact that canon doesn't make a timer remote for its lower end cameras. I am very happy with this device. The only negative aspect of it is that is doesn't have an off switch. In order to conserve batteries I have to remove the batteries from the device. It works just as advertised and I have used it hundreds of times. If you are looking for a nice timer remote for you camera, this is the right product for you. The backlight is great for low light photography. Its pretty much exactly like the Canon TC80-N3 Timer Remote except it has the small stereo jack which fits into the remote input jack of the lower end Canon Models.
