WR-C100 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, & Canon Powershot G10 Digtial SLR Cameras fully compatible with Canon RS-60E3 and PENTAX CS-205

Wireless RF (radio frequency) remote control features maximum operating range 100m. Compared to an infrared (IR) remote control, it allows you to operate the shutter from either direction / angle. It supports unique coding for anti-interference and avoiding wrong operation. 3 operations modes: At W mode, the receiver is active, you can use the transmitter to control the shutter or focus. At O mode, the receiver will be a normal remote switch, and it will not consume any power. At L mode, the receiver will lock the shutter for long exposure.
Customer Review: Canon Wireless $400, This Equally Good for $80
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.
Customer Review: Good product, dependable for field use
I've been using this remote trigger a lot for live band performances - there are often cases where I'd like to get some shots (for example, of the drummer who is often in the back) from the stage but can't get up there to do the job. All I need to do now is square it with the band, and place a second camera up on the stage, off to the side, pointed where I want it. I then use the remote trigger to fire off a sequence of shots while standing in the crowd and shooting with the primary camera. The remote has proven to be dependable despite it's "cheap" feel. A blue LED lights up on the base to verify that it received the command from the remote, useful if you are in a loud environment or out of earshot, and can't here the shutter trip. Although I haven't had to take this on any trips yet, I'd recommend checking this with your luggage if you plan on taking a flight. The remote control looks an awful lot like a detonator that you'd see in the movies. Especially with the little antenna on it. Might not cause a problem, but it's hard enough getting through security with a lot of camera gear in your carry-on, why exacerbate the problem?
