Pros: I've been using this timer remote shutter for astrophotography purposes, and I found it very useful for many reasons:1- It's quite cheaper than the original one.2- You can set the timer to take a lot of pictures meanwhile you're doing other tasks. 3- Very useful for astrophotography and time-lapses.
Cons: Ok, it's not perfect:1- The cable is only a meter long, I would pay an extra $5 to have a longer one. Since we put the timer in a tripod, a short cable can produce involuntary movements in the photo because of the wind if we can't put it on the ground or somewhere else.2- It's always running, there's no on/off button. Although this is not a problem since the batteries are supposed to last for three years (just ask me in 3 years and I'll tell you if this is right).3- Light only lasts about 6 seconds, it's not enough to set the timer at night.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: If you need a timer shutter, just buy this one, it's almost perfect.
Pros: Bought this for my 400D (Digital Rebel XTI). It allows me to:1. Set time remaining to take the pic2. Set number of pics3. Set interval between each pic4. Set exposure time for the picsCombine these to get, for example, 10 pics of 5sec exposure each, and 3 minutes between each pic.
Cons: Has no On/Off switch
Other Thoughts: You can solve the On/Off switch issue by putting some paper between the battery and the contact: just open the battery compartment, put a thin paper over it larger than the battery itself and close. When you want to use the remote, just pull the paper.
Bottomline: The original is more than the double, and does exactly the same. Easy to set up and use, you'll love it for time-lapse pics (moving clouds, blooming flowers...
