This remote from Neewer (which has the Shoot brand on it) is not just similar to the one with the Canon name brand on it, it is the same unit. The only difference is that to get the Canon-branded remote you pay a whopping 83% more. The selling price for this remote was so low I was actually concerned that it was either junk or the seller was a fly-by-night. Not true on either score. It worked perfectly out of the box on my Canon 60D, was well packaged, came with battery and a basic instruction manual and the seller had it to me much sooner than I expected (it doesn't qualify for Prime so I expected to wait at least another week). Shipping charges were MUCH lower than expected - basically actual cost to the seller.The remote itself isn't rocket science so I won't go into a lot of techie details. It is small enough to fit easily in the accessory pouch of my camera case, comfortable to hold and has a large curved disc that helps you slide your thumb exactly over the raised release button without having to look at the switch. That makes it easy to hold inconspicuously at your side. You also have the option of setting a slide switch on the back of the case to permit a 2-second delay after pushing the button. That way you can push the button and put your hands wherever you want to. A third option is if you set your camera to "bulb" one push will open the shutter and a second push will close the shutter ... no need to hold the button in.Most people don't like self-timers for good reason - the mad dash to get into the frame with your group usually results in unnatural photos. With a wireless remote you can concentrate on having fun without the stress.Time will tell how long this remote will last, not that I plan to use it every day anyway, but if it fails I'm not too concerned. I can buy 6 more of them for the price of one Canon-branded unit.PS - I'm choosing to reinsert the little plastic tab that came with the remote to keep the battery from making contact (so it didn't accidentally discharge in shipping). It's easy to slide back in and I think it will help prolong the battery life if the button gets pushed while in my carrying case.

I got this as a cheap alternative to the Canon remote, and it works great. On my Canon 60D I change the drive mode to timer/remote, and point the remote at the front of the camera. It works! This remote also has a 2 second delay switch on the back of the remote, which works as advertised - press the remote button, the signal is sent to the camera (AF assist light blinks) then the shutter triggers after 2 seconds. Regardless of the shutter delay set by the camera, the remote will trigger the shutter immediately or after 2 seconds, depending on the remote's chosen mode. It takes a CR2025 3V lithium cell (conveniently included and pre-installed). As for range, indoors it works up to 24 feet away (tested by me) and it does not seem to be affected by ambient light levels, though I have not tried it in sunlight. One drawback is that it cannot wake the camera from power-saving or sleep mode (e.g. if it is powered on but has not been used for a few minutes), but this is not a flaw of the remote - to avoid this issue, just change your camera settings so that it never goes to sleep. For less than $5, can't be beat.

I bought this unit because I wanted to be able to join in the group photos I've been taking without having to use a timer. When I opened the packaged I was pleasantly surprised by the small size (2.5"x1.25"), and quality build. Next step was to setup my camera to use the device, which actually just required setting the camera to "remote activation", two button presses. I click the button and "snap" - very pleased at that moment. Then I walk in front of it, and back up enough to be within range for a full body shot(50mm lens on crop), I press the button and nothing. I had to walk to within 5-6 feet to get the remote to work.In the end it failed for my intended purpose, but I will keep it for remote activation when on a tripod for telephoto work because the price is right.
