Product Description

This simple Remote Shutter Release Cord works with Canon D-Series Digital SLR Cameras and has a 3-foot long cord.
This is a wise investment if you often take digital photographs with a camera mounted to a tripod. By remotely causing a digital camera to take a long exposure, you all but eliminate any chance of "camera shake" due to pressing the digital camera's built-in shutter button. This may be especially useful for nighttime, fireworks, cityscape or panorama photography.

Customer Reviews

I'd like to knock this thing down to four stars, explaining as I do that the Canon equivalent to this third party substitute is of better build quality and so on. Trouble is, I can't because the Canon equivalent to this remote shutter release is equally as shoddy. At under a fifth the cost and the same level of (admittedly poor) construction as the Canon shutter release, I'd say this bit is a no brainer.
Specifics: By shoddy construction, I mean this shutter release is composed entirely of plastic, just like the Canon model. There's nothing wrong with that--it's just an itty bitty circuitboard that shouldn't be taking abuse anyway--and the build quality itself is fine. The cord seems securely anchored to the device, the button (it only has one) has a nice, tactile feel to it (but doesn't give a very good feedback click at mid press--see below), and the plastic part itself feels solid enough that I don't worry about breaking it from letting it drop and hang from the camera. (I wouldn't let it hit the floor, though.) I've done close to a thousand shots with one unit without having a single hiccup, which puts reliability at least at "good enough for me." Because they are third party, though, I heartily recommend not trusting QC. I keep three tested units in my bag for important shoots. Considering that buying three is still almost half the cost of one Canon unit and considering the Canon unit isn't any more reliable, however, I don't feel at a disadvantage doing this.
My only gripe is a mild one. Because of the poor tactile response when the shutter release button is halfway pressed, it can sometimes be difficult to use whatever function you have tied to half-press shutter button. This is rarely a problem for me because I tend to use these releases for portraits and landscapes (where I use manual focus). YMMV. This problem isn't critical, though. I fully expect it's something you could adapt to with practice, so those who regularly use HPSB shouldn't consider it a dealbreaker.

This product failed shortly after purchase, I then cut the cord and mounted the cord (with solder iron) from this shutter release to the stock Canon shutter release (RS-60E3) originally made for the XTi, I now can use my Canon XTi shutter (RS-60E3) for my 40D and 5D, which takes the Canon 'N3 connector' not the original mini headphone jack as the XTi uses.
