Canon Wireless $400, This Equally Good for $80, April 19, 2009
This review is from: Satechi WR-C100 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, T1i, T2i & Canon Powershot G10, G11, G12 & Pentax K7 Digital SLR cameras fully compatible with Canon RS-60E3, PENTAX CS-205, CONTAX LA-50 (Electronics)
I was tempted - I really needed a remote release, and the Canon is a nice setup. But it's 5x as much money. So I read the reviews here and they're all correct - this thing does exactly what it says. One button for focus, one for release; or, press the release halfway and focus, press harder to shoot. You can use it as a wired cable release too, without using any battery power.
Mine came fully charged. The indicator lights all work, the manual (one page) isn't much but it tells you the functions. What more do you need?
The antenna is the old-style telescoping deal, but I haven't needed to pull it out yet. The system works without a hitch from 40' feet away through an apartment wall.
Somebody mentioned a slight delay between the button press and the shot. I haven't noticed it. If it's there it's a fraction of a second.
I'm glad I didn't waste my money on the Canon. I love my 40D and I stick with their brand for most accessories, but I won't buy their filters and I'm glad I didn't buy their wireless remote. Just no reason to pay more.

Great product, great price., April 21, 2008
This review is from: Satechi WR-C100 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, T1i, T2i & Canon Powershot G10, G11, G12 & Pentax K7 Digital SLR cameras fully compatible with Canon RS-60E3, PENTAX CS-205, CONTAX LA-50 (Electronics)
I was in the market for a external wireless shutter control for my Canon 30D, was browsing around the canon website and noticed canon's LC-5 controller costs as much as a new lens. This product perfectly filled my requrements with the addition of costing only a fraction of Canons equivalent. Great accurate shutter control, battery will last an entire day of shooting.

WR-C100 WORKS GREAT!, May 15, 2009
This review is from: Satechi WR-C100 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, T1i, T2i & Canon Powershot G10, G11, G12 & Pentax K7 Digital SLR cameras fully compatible with Canon RS-60E3, PENTAX CS-205, CONTAX LA-50 (Electronics)
The WR-C100 is a quality product from a good company. Satechi shipped right away and followed up with an e-mail. Checking with the customer after the sale gives me confidence that I have made a good purchase. The unit works as advertised and appears well-made. I have had fun checking it out with my camera on a tripod with the receiver attached. I could trigger the shutter from any room in the house, so it has a long range. Another handy feature is using the receiver alone as a wired shutter release. I purchased this so I could put the camera close to my bird feeders and control it from a distance. I look forward to getting some great pictures. I highly recommend both the product and the seller.
