Works Perfectly 
2008-10-03
I've had a chance to use the brand-name Canon remote and this does everything just as well at half the price. I'm very satisfied with the product. Crisp actuation pressure for the switch and the cord is long enough. It has worked perfectly on probably 750+ images. After the rainy season, I'll update this review with more field experience.
Very highly recommended.
Good product for the money 2008-09-02
You should buy this product if you need such thing. It's not worth spending money on Canon products. After all it is simply a remote. You don't need a hi tech product.
The remote simply does what it was supposed to do. The only inconvenience is the length of the wire. It could be a little longer, but is ok like that.
Great Product! 2008-07-03
Contrary to an earlier review, this cable does work on the Rebel XTi. After reading that review i wasn't too sure, but i figured i try it anyways and sure enough it works. I've had it for a few days and it's working exactly the way i wanted and needed it to and at an amazing price!
Remote Control Works Great 2008-06-19

Good Starter Kit

At last, something from Opteka that does work. Ok, it might be corded and not cordless, but this remote control does work. I tested it standing on a frozen lake, so it works in the coldest of temperatures. It set the camera to shoot within a few seconds and captured excellent self portraits every time. I was able to press the remote and then postion my self without having to hold the remote in front of me so no cord in the shot. But then I was using a Canon Rebel XTi, so that might differ to the camera you use. Definately worth the purchase for beginners, worth the purchase to have as a backup in case the cordless remote, which I also have, fails.

Opteka Remote Control Cord 2007-12-30
Product works as advertised on my Canon EOS XTI. It's especially nice when using a tripod and large lens when any type of shaking can be seen in the picture. An item well worth the price, everyone should have one.
opteka remote control 2007-10-25
Works perfectly on my Canon XT.Some have suggested a longer cord but truth be told the short cord does'nt get in my way(lengthening the cord is fairly e-z and cheap also). The price point ease of ordering and quick delivery make this an easy purchase.All the control you have with the camera shutter button you have with this remote. Can truly help on longer exposures by eliminating vibrations.
Very helpful 2007-09-09
A simple, yet effective tool. Already helping me to reduce camera shake out in the field
Great remote works just like it says 2007-07-19
Pros:
Works just like you are actually pushing the shutter, push lightly and the camera will wake if asleep and the lens will focus, push harder and it will take the shot.
Has a shutter lock so you can lock the shutter open in bulb mode.
Cons:
Cord seems a little short to me.
I bought this remote when I found out the cordless IR remote did not wake the camera up once it was asleep and altered the night exposures I was making during night shoots.
Great product I highly recommend.
