I was in the market for a external wireless shutter control for my Canon 30D, was browsing around the canon website and noticed canon's LC-5 controller costs as much as a new lens. This product perfectly filled my requrements with the addition of costing only a fraction of Canons equivalent. Great accurate shutter control, battery will last an entire day of shooting.

The WR-C100 is a quality product from a good company. Satechi shipped right away and followed up with an e-mail. Checking with the customer after the sale gives me confidence that I have made a good purchase. The unit works as advertised and appears well-made. I have had fun checking it out with my camera on a tripod with the receiver attached. I could trigger the shutter from any room in the house, so it has a long range. Another handy feature is using the receiver alone as a wired shutter release. I purchased this so I could put the camera close to my bird feeders and control it from a distance. I look forward to getting some great pictures. I highly recommend both the product and the seller.

I was tempted - I really needed a remote release, and the Canon is a nice setup. But it's 5x as much money. So I read the reviews here and they're all correct - this thing does exactly what it says. One button for focus, one for release; or, press the release halfway and focus, press harder to shoot. You can use it as a wired cable release too, without using any battery power.

Mine came fully charged. The indicator lights all work, the manual (one page) isn't much but it tells you the functions. What more do you need?

The antenna is the old-style telescoping deal, but I haven't needed to pull it out yet. The system works without a hitch from 40' feet away through an apartment wall.

Somebody mentioned a slight delay between the button press and the shot. I haven't noticed it. If it's there it's a fraction of a second.

I'm glad I didn't waste my money on the Canon. I love my 40D and I stick with their brand for most accessories, but I won't buy their filters and I'm glad I didn't buy their wireless remote. Just no reason to pay more.

I own a Canon XSi camera. The wireless remote works fine. I haven't been able to use it at any distance yet because of our lousy weather in the mid-west but it worked just fine from the basement to the upstairs bedrooms. The camera on a tripod upstairs and the remote switch in the basement. I am quite sure the range outside will live up to the published range of the unit.

The WR-C100 wireless remote is radio based, which works much better than my previous IR remote, mainly because you don't need that line of sight "sweet spot" in order to shoot. I'm able to hold the remote behind my back to capture great shots. If your're looking for a thrifty remote, with some good performance then this is it.
