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.

cool gadget
This control is pretty cool, it works great but you have to be pretty close to your camera.
