4.0 out of 5 stars Good little tool, April 10, 2008

I just bought this after realizing I needed a remote of some sort.

First the good.

Just plug it into your camera and it works. Not having a wire attached to the camera is a definite bonus. The button is easy to press even if your fingers are cold. Works with antennae down at least at close range. Small enough to fit in my pocket, and both units are small enough to not take up any of that precious space in my camera bag.

The bad.

The remote requires a sewing machine screwdriver to replace the battery if it goes dead. There is no battery access like there is on the receiver. The battery for the receiver is not a standard grocery or convenience store purchase like a AA or AAA. If you are in auto/auto-focus mode, there is no positive feedback on the button to tell when you have pressed the button down enough to trigger the shutter.

All in all it has done a great job and performs as expected.
