5.0 out of 5 stars All you need in a remote cable release, July 21, 2007

By	L. Williams (Clearwater, FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was initially wary of Opteka's quality, however, after receiving the product I've been very happy with its quality and construction. The remote is solid, not flimsy, and works as advertised to allow you to take photos with your tripod-mounted camera with no shake or movement to blur the image. It is especially useful for long exposure shots. I'm impressed with Opteka's engineering and will seriously consider their other products. It's far cheaper than Canon's remote, so it is an excellent buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars No regrets., January 14, 2008

By	A. Ngeow (VT and PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the price difference, this is a great buy. The cable is as described. Mine works fine. Admittedly you can tell it's not of the finest quality at first, but it's a button. All it needs to do is trigger the focus, then the shutter. After trying it out a few times you won't think twice about it.

There are three functions. Half-press autofocus, full-press shutter release, and hold/continuous(this locks the button down as if you were holding the shutter release button down (bulb or rapid-fire).

Good quality, and cheap enough to replace without a second thought. I can't justify getting the more expensive version.
