Wireless Remote Review
This is a great device. There are many useful applications for this device. I use it because I draw and many times, I'm my own model when it comes to poses. This makes it easy for me to take photos of my self for drawing purposes(sounds weird, I know). Besides that I've been able to take professional photos (with my Canon Rebel XTi) of my family... with me in the photo. Once you set up your shot this remote focuses the camera and takes the picture at the touch of a button. It is also useful when you want to take a picture in low lighting where you dont any camera shake. You can set the camera on tripod, use your remote, and there will be absolutely no camera shake. I love this remote, I wish I bought it sooner.

Handy
Really convenient and handy.
I usually mount the camera on a tripod and use it for:
- family pictures with everybody in the picture
- when you want ultimate image quality or at long exposures
e.g.: http://picasaweb.google.com/vgenkin/Seattle
It has a "locked" switch for when it's in the bag, "instant shot" when you aren't in the picture, "2-sec delay" mode when you want some time to hide your hand with the remote.
It cannot do "continuous shooting", and even if you set +-1/3EV bracketing it will take only one shot at a time when in "2-sec delay mode"...
I don't use it often, but when I do - it's so much much better than the standard 10-sec timer.

Limited use
This product would be great if the range of the remote wasn't so short and narrow. Its not very good from any angle other than the front and at close range. It might be best to get stronger or wired remote.
