With the holidays coming soon I am looking into buying a wireless remote for my Canon XTI I have done some searching and the rc1 seems to be the only wireless remote they sale.(?) I was wondering if anyone uses this remote or any others that will work with a XTI? Also how do you like the wireless remotes?
Thanks |

I have one very similar to this and like it a lot. Cheap and has been reliable up to about 125 feet.

This unit (available for Canon and Nikon) works very well. It has both wired and wireless modes, and uses RF rather than IR, so it's unaffected by leaves, windows, etc, and in open-air has a range of at least 75'.

I have not used this product specifically, these are the same guys who make the cactus flash triggers, so its probably pretty good. |

I use the Canon rc-1 for my XSI and it works great. If you were to chose between RC-1 and RC-5 get the rc-s since you can switch between immediate shutter release or 2- second release. On the RC-5 it's ony 2 second release.
