If build quality and reliability are not too important, then get a cheap one from China. If they are, then get a Canon product or something like a set of Pocket Wizards (with appropriate cable).

links?

have you used the canon triggers? or low budget triggers?

I have a cheap wired remote for my newer Cameras. It cost me $11 on E-Bay and came from China...I don't use it a lot but it works just fine. I've got a Canon brand wired remote for my old EOS 650 and it works fine as well.

I don't have a wireless camera remote but I do have some cheap wireless flash triggers that work well enough.

Canon:
LC-5 (wireless) - $410 US
RS-80N3 (wired remote with 2.6' cord) - $50 US
TC-80N3 (timer wired remote with 2.6' cord) - $133 US
ET-1000N3 (33' extension cord for wired remotes) - $75 US

There is a company called ADIDT that makes some Canon knock-offs of the above remotes for a much lower price. I believe you can only purchase the ADIDT remotes through ebay.

I bought a wireless trigger from Phottix and have been very happy with it. I have the C3 and I really like it because the receiver doubles as a wired switch which works without batteries. Just plug it in to your camera and you're all set. To use the wireless capabilities, just turn both the receiver and the transmitter on and shoot away.

I've got the Cleon C6 from Phottix, and would recommend them.

This is the one I use, it works flawlessly. It is reachargable and comes with its own charger as well.
