The remote works pretty well. I only have two problems with it but both I knew before I bought. The first is the limited distance, which is not a real problem for anyone who is doing self-portrait photography. The second is that you have to aim the remote directly into the lens because that is where the infrared sensor is located. Again this is not a big problem because for me and for most newer Olympus models because you have the option of delaying the shutter so you can get out of the picture. I own an Olympus E-510 and as I expected only the shutter button on the remote works, none of the other functions (as far as i know) do, for my camera. It is pretty sturdy as well considering I've dropped it and stepped on it more then once.
