Great remote works just like it says

Jul 19, 2007 - By Grant Brummett (Arizona USA)

Pros:

Works just like you are actually pushing the shutter, push lightly and the camera will wake if asleep and the lens will focus, push harder and it will take the shot.
Has a shutter lock so you can lock the shutter open in bulb mode.

Cons:

Cord seems a little short to me.

I bought this remote when I found out the cordless IR remote did not wake the camera up once it was asleep and altered the night exposures I was making during night shoots.

Great product I highly recommend.

Opteka Remote Control Cord

Dec 30, 2007 - By Ronald L. Olson

Product works as advertised on my Canon EOS XTI. It's especially nice when using a tripod and large lens when any type of shaking can be seen in the picture. An item well worth the price, everyone should have one.

XTi OWNERS BEWARE

Feb 15, 2008 - By C. Holl (Connecticut)

Unlike the advertisements and the reviews this remote does not plug into the XTi. Great. Just got mine.

Great Product!

Jul 3, 2008 - By B. Hawk (Cincinnati, OH)

Contrary to an earlier review, this cable does work on the Rebel XTi. After reading that review i wasn't too sure, but i figured i try it anyways and sure enough it works. I've had it for a few days and it's working exactly the way i wanted and needed it to and at an amazing price!
