 Does not work with Digital Rebel XTi July 30, 2007

as noted before, this does not work with my new model of the Digital Rebel XTi, incompatible. Purchase Canon's remote and not Opteka's for this camera.

Even though in its description, it claims to be compatible with Rebel Xti. After opening the package and setting my Xti to self timer/remote, I clicked the button and nothing happened.....
I called tech support and apparently it works with only "some" XTis. They're sending me a new Canon RC1 remote for the $10 difference.
If you own an Xti, I recommend spending the extra $10 and getting one that you know will work.

A long time user of Opteka's canon battery grip for the rebel, I was confidante that this remote would work as stated. The remote shutter works great. It is very light and made well. I saved about $10 by choosing the Opteka remote instead of the Canon one.
That fact that it also will work for other brand cameras was the icing on the cake. I am a camera addict that owns many Nikon, Olympus, and Sony cameras. *Golf Clap*
Just Fine, thank you November 19, 2007

after reading the negative reviews, I've done extensive testing with this unit. I've had absolutely zero problem under any test scenario I can think up.
I'm quite pleased with the thing.

I bought this remote control for my Canon SLR in hopes of saving money by avoiding the one-button Canon version for a few dozen dollars more.
This remote control lived up to my expectations: it is very small and it does what it is supposed to do.
Once you find the buttons for whatever camera you use, the "S" button means 1 second and the "2S" button means 2 seconds until the camera shoots. Remember to put your camera into the timer mode to use the remote. If you are in AF mode, the remote will make the camera focus and shoot, and if you are in MF mode, it will, of course, just shoot to your pre-determined focus.
I do mostly close-range highly-detailed photography and the true reason I purchased it is to shave off 8 seconds off the timer - almost any physical contact with the camera (even on a sturdier tripod) can and will cause the end result to be out of focus due to movement - "been there done that." And waiting the full 10 seconds is a waste of my time.
The only major limitation with this remote control lies in your camera and its location of the wireless receiver: the remote has to be in clear view of the camera's sensor.
I haven't had to change the battery yet, thus I can not comment on that aspect.
