 Great Remote September 7, 2010
M. Hauser (Grove, Oklahoma)
I purchased this remote to help take family photos, or long exposure shots of the sky at night so I won't jiggle the camera. So far it works great! I have not had to replace the batteries and I often leave it on for weeks at a time because I'll forget to turn it off. So I guess it only uses up battery power when you press the shutter button. Its range is pretty good too. If conditions are optimal you can probably use it from twenty-five feet away. But I've never had any trouble with not being able to get far enough away from my camera.
The remote is very simple to use. It has essentially three modes. Off, Shoot, and Two-Second Delay. It comes with a little thingy that allows you to keep it on your neck strap when you're not using it, then just pop it off when you need it. I find it gets in the way though, so if I know I'm going to be needing it I'll just keep it in my pocket. Most of the time it stays in my camera bag though.
 Ultra portable, fairly simple, but limited applications. September 1, 2010

This remote is great for self or family portraits. You do have to be in front of the camera to use it though, which somewhat limits it's uses.
Pros:
1) Very small, includes attachment to camera strap so takes no room in bag.
2) Said strap attachment also works to prop up the end of your lens if you're using a table instead of a tripod.
3) Long battery life
4) No cords to trip over, possibly damaging the camera or at least the photo.
Cons:
1) Have to be in front of the camera to use it
2) Have to change the camera settings to use it, and camera doesn't seem to work correctly if you forget to readjust the settings when you're done.
3) Doesn't have a half press to focus the camera
4) Doesn't wake the camera if it's gone to sleep
5) Doesn't work with certain lenses / hoods if they block the IR sensor.
For me this device is useful enough for family portraits that I wouldn't return it now that I have it, but had I seen RF devices like Opteka Wireless Radio Remote Release for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, T1i, T2i, G10 & G11 Digital SLR Cameras (650' Range), I would have saved my money and bought that first.
The RC-1 works great with my 5D August 30, 2010

The RC-1 works great with my 5D and XTi. A good investment for tripod shooting!
 Good little gadget for the bag August 9, 2010

I bought this to take pictures of my infant and for macro picts. It allows me to be away from the camera to trigger the shutter. It does what it claims and does it well.
