What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

                                            Pros: Excellent remote for the price. The button is tactile, but I wish it were clicky. The tolerance for the connector is excellent, fits snugly in my 30D. The remote acts just like the canon version, with a long exposure mode possible.
 
                                            Cons: I wish the button was one of those SMD "clicky" types, but I'm not going to complain at ALL, especially for the price. 
Macro photography, landscape photography, long exposure photography are all great. Someone mentioned that it wasn't long enough for self portraits, but I don't think that's really applicable, but I guess i'm slightly biased.
 
                                            Other Thoughts:  

                                            Bottomline: Get it for the price, build quality is good, and it's cheap as beans. You will wish you had it in certain situations, just prepare yourself early.

Works great but received broken in half

                                            Pros: Works like a charm, half-press for autofocus and full-press to make the shot. Slide the switch to keep making shots (burst) or engage bulb mode for long exposure.
 
                                            Cons: When I received the item, it was broken in half! The bottom is screwed with 2 small screws to the top. The part where the screws grab on to the top part was broken on both screws. Thats kinda bad but the item did work so I just superglued it together. Sending it back to DE would cost me more then ordering a new item with the risk of receiving another broken remote.
 
                                            Other Thoughts:  

                                            Bottomline: It works, what else do you want? Maybe a bit more quality control to ensure these broken items dont get send to customers.

Good remote

                                            Pros: For situations you have to keep your camera stable (for instance macro-shots) or when you are shooting bulb mode this is a vital tool. It can focus (half-press the button, just like an on-body button), and it has a (mechinacal: lock the button down) feature to automatically hold the button for bulb modes. Feels sturdy enough and the camera react everytime it is used (no trouble in connection so far). The cable is long enough for most of these uses
 
                                            Cons: If you are doing self-portraits, Its not a very long cable. Its defenately possible, but you will not be doing big familly portraits. One should use self-timer for that.
 
                                            Other Thoughts: The complete set is 100cm (1 meter) long, including the remote itself. Cable is 90cm, remote is 10cm.
 
                                            Bottomline: Get this if you want to do macro or night shots, or semi-close shots of yourself.

Exellent price, works as it should

                                            Pros: +Cheap price
+All functions supported (focus, shoot, hold) 

                                            Cons: - 

                                            Other Thoughts: Perhaps a small pouch to storage/carry would be nice? 

                                            Bottomline: If you shoot macros or bulb ( long / manual exposures ) this is really worth every few cents it costs. Using this model with Canon eos 30D. Cant beat this price, comparing to other models, i dont understand how they are pricing their models so high, after all, its just plastic and wires with simple mechanics. Shipment was fast enough. It's a wired model so there is no batteries to replace.
