 A nice addition to the E500... November 6, 2006

However, if your intent is to use this as a remote shutter release from the side or behind the camera, then don't bother with the purchase. It is designed to be used in front of the camera obviously so you can join in the shot with your subject. Great for those vacations where it is you and your significant other (with a tripod) and no one else to take the photo.
Also a good choice if you want to reduce the chance of "blurring" during low light photos such as sunsets and candle light. Again, you need to be in front of the camera (30 degree coverage directly looking at the lens).
 A boon for self-portrait & group shots! July 19, 2001

This is the second RM-1 remote control that I have. The first one came with my C-2020Z camera and served me well. I used it to take some 2000 pics. In the interim, I also threw in lots of abuse for good measure |-) : I dropped it numerous times, stepped on it, etc.
When it finally conked out, the original battery was still going strong. Battery power consumption had not been an issue.
The remote control is great for taking self-portrait, or for group shots. It's *much* better than using the self-timer: no need to run & get into position after tripping the timer!
The only problem that I experienced was when using it outdoors, its range is somewhat limited. Once when I needed to take a pic of a group of people posing next to their cars (i.e. a pic where the camera needs to be a bit of a way away), I needed to walk up closer to the camera (on a tripod) before the remote control would work.

The RM-1 is very compact and easily storable in the smallest of places. I use it with my E-300 Evolt Digital SLR. With this camera only the large shutter button on the remote is usable. The other 4 buttons for zoom and +/- are not applicable to that particular camera. A bit of a disappointment after getting it, but I probably wouldn't have used them anyway.
Great with Olympus Stylus 800 Digital Camera December 31, 2005

I got this very handy accessory item to go with my digital camera. It's compatable and very handy for taking family pictures on holidays where you can be included in the picture.
I know the camera's have self timers, but who wants to run and be breathless to get in the frame in time before the camera fires.
This way you can take more time to compose your picture and it turns out great. I highly recommend this if you plan on taking pictures at any family gathering-or taking informal portraits at home.
Where's the remote? In the couch? February 28, 2006

Part of the fun of taking group shots with digital cameras is the dance of setting the timer and running into the shot. Watching the blinking light count down. This remote allows me to fire off my Olympus E500 in either 2 or 10 second countdown from within the group. I actually purchased it to make time exposures because it is important not to physically move the cameras in "bulb" mode. I have not tried this yet, but I'll update the review when I do. I gave it 4 stars only because it is a very small unit and may be easily be misplaced. Amazon had a nice price for this.
