I think I want it but I'm not sure, what cameras can I use it with?
Canon EOS 10, 100, 30, 50, 50E 300D, 350D and 400D
Ok I have one of those. What batteries does it use? I bet they're a pain.
2 x 3V CR1220 and they are packaged with the item.
What does it do?
Allows you to take pictures without pressing the shutter button.
Allows a 2 second shutter delay remotely. Works at a distance of up to 16ft (5m)
Anything else?
Yes, you can attach it to your camera strap, keeping it safe and accessible.
Right, I've done a bit of remote shooting and I'm bored what else can I use it for?
Ok, so you've had some fun but you want more. The reason I bought mine has nothing to do with shooting portraits or group shots (although I do use it for that too). First of all, on a practical note the remote can be used when you want the camera to be absolutely still when you activate the shutter which sometimes doesn't occur when you actually depress the shutter yourself. This can be when you're shooting, say, macro work where camera shake is very obvious. The best use for this remote however, is due to the in-camera exposure limit of 30 seconds. Try to go beyond that and you see "bulb" in the camera display. Exposures of a length beyond 30 seconds require a remote. Why would I want to achieve such long exposures? Well, for instance (using a tripod) try shooting traffic passing by at night. You'll like the effects. Try shooting the stars for an extended exposure and see the results. The opportunities are endless and that's when this tiny yet perfect bit of kit comes into its own...
Loverly bit of kit June 17, 2004

Just bought one of these for an eos 300D. This remote control is tiny! it has a bracket that fits it to the camera strap so you need never forget it. The remote will take an immediate shot, a 2 second delayed shot, or work the bulb setting (one click open one click to shut). This remote will NOT as far as I know - operate the multiple shooting (burst) mode or give you the half pressed exposure button info on an eos 300D. But I love this gadget its soooo small, its actual size fitted to the strap bracket is; 16mm D x 60mm L x 23mm W, in use the unit is only 10mm Deep, and uses 2x CR1220 watch type batteries
 Works fine with Canon 300d (also called Digital Rebel) July 8, 2004

I could not find the usual recommended remote for my 300d, then saw this one in the small print of the Canon leaflet. It works just fine with my Canon 300d.It has a switch to allow instant photography or a delay of 2 seconds before the camera reacts. I am not sure if this facility is available on the remote (RC5?) usually recommended for this camera, but it can be useful.

I was expecting this remote to be small, but when the box arrived I was surprised by just *how* small. Once I got over the shock though, I started using it straight away (coming as it does complete with the 2 cell batteries it requires) with my 400D. Works perfectly (with a pretty good range), and the 2-second delay option is great for reaching around and getting your hand out of the way in time for macro work.
Fantastic tiny gadget - but I wont to offer my experience as help May 31, 2007

Truly is tiny. Barely the length of my thumb and the clip attachment to the camera strap is perfect and best place to keep it in my opinion.
The instructions really are poor so I took a few minutes figuring it all out myself and wasn't difficult. Thought I'd tell you what I found to help others.
To use this (my vary on different cameras) set shooting mode (where you select single shot/continuous/timed-remote) to the last option 'timed delay/remote'. Should have a tiny icon of an infra-red signal next to the time delay icon. Then you just simply turn on the remote to either instant shot or 2sec delay- point at the camera IR receiver (on the front on hand grip on my camera) and press the button.
No it doesn't half press autofocus nor continuous shoot but will focus for each single shot as would normally and can take several shots quite quickly. since you have to be in front of the camera anyway I don't see this as a problem. Even better if you set to manual focus and do it yourself setting up the shot or lock the focus or set a focus point.
Mirror lock-up you have to go into the menu and go to the custom setup options and set it to mirror lock-up. I think setting 7.
I bought this primarily for long zoom or long exposure or very close shots. Unfortunately I found out I don't really need this for any of those, but I will use it for the snazzyness. Of course one of the main things I was looking at was this 'operate the mirror lockup' which would be great for longzoom/long exposures but I found this seems to be nothing to do with the remote. Its a setting you set in the camera's 'custom functions' on my 400D. Using the camera time release I could have gotten the same effect and would have done all I wonted without this. Oh well.
