Much better than cheap third party remotes2008-09-08
In comparison with most cheaper third party remotes, this one looks much cooler on your Canon shoulder strap. It's slim and black so it blends well with the look of your Canon camera.

Most importantly, you never need to look at your remote in order to operate once you have it in your palm. It has a good tactile button switch at an ergonomically designed location.

It still has a function selector slide switch for instant and 2-sec-delay shots - all I need for my Canon XSi, although it's a little bit tricky to switch to the middle "instant" position in total darkness. If it had a 2-position (instant / 2sec) switch rather than the current 3-position (off / instant / 2sec) switch it might have been easier to change modes without looking at the switch.

Anyway I am very satisfied with it and unless you want a "universal" remote that works for other brand cameras, I highly recommend this.
Does what it's supposed to2008-09-06
The remote is very small and mounts on the camera strap for easy storage. It's an IR remote so you must have line of sight to the camera to operate it. Because of it's small size, if you have large hands like myself, it can be a bit hard to push the button. There are times when it took two presses to activate the camera because my finger wasn't pushing it down all the way. Still, a great addition to my camera.
Small, easy to use, and best of all, inexpensive2008-09-04
I purchased the RC-1 remote to use with my Canon 400D XTI. This is a no-frills, easy to use wireless remote that is small and very light. It can even attach to your camera strap so its on hand wherever you are. There are 2 shutter settings you can choose, no delay and 2 second delay and the remote will easily work up to a 15 foot distance.
My only gripe is (like alot of others have mentioned) is that the remote doesn't work from the rear of the camera which would be handy when doing portrait shots and trying to prevent camera shake. If not for this, I would have no hesitation to give it 5 stars.
Great product!2008-08-29
This is a great product whenever you want to be in the group photo you are shooting. Also, if you like taking self portraits, this product comes in handy instead of using the timer on the camera.
Works as expected.2008-08-25
This remote works as I expected and advertised. Enables me to get into photos without having to hurry in to the frame using a timer. The price is great concidering the functionality. This is the second one I have purchased. The first is still working great after 2 years of ownership, this one I bought to go along to my son when I up graded to the Rebel Xsi from the Rebel Xt which I am giving to him.
