5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, simple and it works well!
This works great on my Canon 40D. One button does it all. Push it half way for focus and the rest of the way to shoot. I cannot ask for more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple, cheap
This switch worked beautifully for one photo excursion, but stopped working on the second. It seems like it would be difficult to screw up something so simple. I tried to fix it by taking it apart and cleaning the contacts and reassembling the button, but it was dead for good... For $30 it would be nice to get more than a couple hundred shots.

That being...

This review is from: Satechi MA-A (196 inch) High Quality Remote Shutter for Canon EOS-1V/1VHS, EOS-3, EOS-D2000, D30, D60, 1D, 1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II,III,IV, EOS-1Ds Mark II,III, EOS-10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 7D Fully Compatible with RS-80N3 (Electronics)

That being said, call me crazy, but I'll probably order another one (or maybe I'll try the Opteka switch). Even given the fact that it broke so quickly, I like it much more than the Canon switch (hence three stars). I'll chalk this one up to poor quality control. The long cord is very nice, and the trigger takes effort to lock, meaning it doesn't get locked by accident as happens with the Canon trigger.

5.0 out of 5 stars MA-A Remote Release for Canon EOS, June 26, 2007
This review is from: Satechi MA-A (196 inch) High Quality Remote Shutter for Canon EOS-1V/1VHS, EOS-3, EOS-D2000, D30, D60, 1D, 1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II,III,IV, EOS-1Ds Mark II,III, EOS-10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 7D Fully Compatible with RS-80N3 (Electronics)
This product works well with the Canon EOS Mark II and Mark IIn camera. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it. It is also a great savings over the Canon OEM product.

This switch works perfectly. It is the absolute equivalent of the Canon switch that costs much more. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Remote - Low Cost, October 2, 2009

This review is from: Satechi MA-A (196 inch) High Quality Remote Shutter for Canon EOS-1V/1VHS, EOS-3, EOS-D2000, D30, D60, 1D, 1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II,III,IV, EOS-1Ds Mark II,III, EOS-10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 7D Fully Compatible with RS-80N3 (Electronics)
Works very well, seems to be quality made. Don't use this remote often so time will tell if it holds up. Price is excellent compared to Canon's original RS-80N3. One thing I have to get use to is the switch is very sensitive for the first position. Barely touch it and it focuses the camera, then press normally to take the picture. I still give it 5 stars for quality, functionality, and Amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good remote!, November 14, 2008
This review is from: Satechi MA-A (196 inch) High Quality Remote Shutter for Canon EOS-1V/1VHS, EOS-3, EOS-D2000, D30, D60, 1D, 1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II,III,IV, EOS-1Ds Mark II,III, EOS-10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5D Mark II, 7D Fully Compatible with RS-80N3 (Electronics)
The remote works just as expected with my Canon 40D and you can't really beat the price. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a good and affordable remote for their camera. I also really like the lenght of the cord. It is quite long, which can be good for wildlife photography or self-portraits etc.

(Note: I bought this remote from Satechi and I would also give their service 5 stars. I ordered the remote in the end of one week and I was suppose to get the remote any time between tuesday and friday the following week. However I never had to wait that long. It already arrived on the monday of the week it was supposed to arrive, so super fast shipping from Satechi)

Great product... works perfectly and can take a beating. Is there anything else to say?
