Review: A must for any kind of slow shutter shots - Convenient, and a must for any kind of long exposure shots to prevent any kind of shake from pressing the shutter. Allows for half press for auto focus, or full press to take the shot. Cord is easily wrapped around unit, and there are 2 slots to hold it in place, and an opening on the bottom to hold the plug too. Fit's in my pocket without weighing me down, it works great. I use this on a Canon 80D and a Canon T3i, but it is compatible with any Canon that has the input on the side of the camera for this jack, which I think is most of their DSLR cameras, if not all. A note - more modern cameras that have NFC, bluetooth, and WIFI have access to an app on your smartphones called Canon Camera Connect, which lets you use your smartphone as a remote trigger, as well as a live view preview, and a secondary controller for the camera. It can even add geotagging for cameras that don't have GPS! It kind of makes things like this obsolete, but there is still room for it in my bag thanks to its simplicity. Another note - If you don't have one of these and you want to prevent shake during long exposures, you can set the timer on your camera so that it opens the shutter. Some can be set to 2 seconds, more than enough time to move away from the camera. Just remember to set it back to normal when you are done or you will likely ruin a shot in the future. A warning - I have since writing this review learned that this item is tagged as "non-returnable" by desertcart. I hear that even applies to defective items, which seems wrong but I have not had the experience of trying to deal with this. I did want to offer a suggestion though, to anyone that might get a bad one and can't return it to desertcart.... Go to any store that sells this item. Buy it, but it has to be the EXACT item. Take it out of the store and swap it with the bad one. Take it back to the store and tell them it was defective and that you want a refund. They will refund your money and you now have a replacement. If they ask if you just want to exchange it say no. If they ask why, just make up a reason. Tell them this is the final straw, or you have no confidence in the item, or something like that. Something confrontational that will get them to just shut up and give you your refund. And you don't even have to feel bad about it. They will jsut send it to the manufacturer to get a credit or be issued a new one. I have been on both sides of this, it all works out for everyone. It is a little underhanded, but it gets you your replacement. Review: Does exactly what it says - As others have pointed out, the name might be a little misleading on this item. It is what most would call a shutter release as opposed to a remote. Calling it a "Remote Switch" implies to some that it is wireless. But the picture and description clearly state it is corded, so you're basically just arguing semantics at that point. Even Canon calls it a remote switch, so take it up with them. In my mind, the major reason to buy this is to eliminate the very little but potentially noticeable shake your hand exerts on the camera when you take a long-exposure shot. Those who are complaining about not being able to take self-portraits or the other limitations of a 2ft. cord need to look at the existing wireless solutions; there are different tools for different needs. And I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of not having a few feet of slack cable hanging down from the a tripod that's top-heavy and holding ~$3,000 worth of equipment. I'd rather the cord be relatively short so anyone walking by doesn't accidentally snag it and pull down my whole setup. If you're shooting immediately behind the camera, the cord is long enough; my wife has even used it to keep her hands in her pockets during cold shoots, and it had slack enough for that. All that said, it does what it says it does: act as an extension of the shutter button while easily allowing you to make extra-long exposures. The build quality doesn't feel great, but I've dropped it several times and have it packed in the large pocket of our main camera bag that it shares with many other accessories, and it still works perfectly. I think part of it is that the device's electronics are very small and simple, so it's very light and feels cheap even though it might be pretty well constructed. Unless you're going to be far away from your camera while shooting or otherwise need the range, this will work perfectly and, unlike the wireless switches, does not require batteries that always seem to die at the worst times. I personally prefer wired connections where possible because, with all things considered, they are more reliable than wireless ones. A note: this does not work with the 40D/50D models. We got this for our Rebel XT and thought it might be usable with the 50D we recently bought, but no go. Understandable, but it would have been nice to not have to buy another one. Pros: - Reduces shake during long exposures - Allows photographer to keep hands in pockets during cold shoots - Wired, so doesn't depend on batteries Cons: - Overpriced - I would say cord length, but if you're looking for long range, you shouldn't even be looking at this item - Can't continue using it if you upgrade to anything higher than the 40D ## Features - Remote switch convenience - Replicates all shutter release button functions - Compatible with some Canon EOS cameras.

However, I really enjoy that the remote works well. **Q: does it work for REREL EOS 5T?** A: Hi, I can't see why it wouldn't. It is listed a s a standard accessory, and it works on both my Canons EOS Rebel T2, and an earlier model. It's great. **Q: Will this work with a 40D and a 60D?** A: This works for my 60D and my 70D. I don't know about the 40D but if it works for the 2 I have, it will probably work for the 40D.
