Extra cord might be needed for your Canon camera
934457
Received this yesterday and works great. The only thing I can suggest is I bought it for the shutter release and it did not have the cord I needed for my Canon camera T3 1100D. I went to my local camera shop and purchased. It was worth it. I would have given 5 stars if it would have advised me of the cord situation.

I haven't used this yet but it should be a good addition to my Canon accessories. Time will tell. Thanks, David

I decided to try a cheap extra battery for my new T4i and I see why this kit includes two of them.  Don't let the claimed mAh fool you: Neither one gets close to as many shots as the Canon original but combined they probably give you a little more.  The camera is expecting the lifespan of the OEM battery so when you see the charge indicator drop you only have a few more shots before it shuts off. Still, for the price it's handy to have them as long as you keep both charged and in your camera bag.

On the other hand I actually prefer this charger to the original since this doesn't have a cord to keep track of.

If I had to do it all over again I'd probably get another Canon OEM battery and a charger like this one.

It works great with my camera.  I wish it had a longer lead wire so you could move further away from the camera.

It works well with the computer but I wanted for my camera to take pictures of work activities yet it malfunctioned on my Canon Camera.

Needs a little additional space for the accessories (cords & spare battery).

As others have pointed out, the name might be a little misleading on this item. It is what most would call a shutter release as opposed to a remote. Calling it a "Remote Switch" implies to some that it is wireless. But the picture and description clearly state it is corded, so you're basically just arguing semantics at that point. Even Canon calls it a remote switch, so take it up with them.

In my mind, the major reason to buy this is to eliminate the very little but potentially noticeable shake your hand exerts on the camera when you take a long-exposure shot. Those who are complaining about not being able to take self-portraits or the other limitations of a 2ft. cord need to look at the existing wireless solutions; there are different tools for different needs. And I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of not having a few feet of slack cable hanging down from the a tripod that's top-heavy and holding ~$3,000 worth of equipment. I'd rather the cord be relatively short so anyone walking by doesn't accidentally snag it and pull down my whole setup. If you're shooting immediately behind the camera, the cord is long enough; my wife has even used it to keep her hands in her pockets during cold shoots, and it had slack enough for that.

All that said, it does what it says it does: act as an extension of the shutter button while easily allowing you to make extra-long exposures. The build quality doesn't feel great, but I've dropped it several times and have it packed in the large pocket of our main camera bag that it shares with many other accessories, and it still works perfectly. I think part of it is that the device's electronics are very small and simple, so it's very light and feels cheap even though it might be pretty well constructed.

Unless you're going to be far away from your camera while shooting or otherwise need the range, this will work perfectly and, unlike the wireless switches, does not require batteries that always seem to die at the worst times. I personally prefer wired connections where possible because, with all things considered, they are more reliable than wireless ones.

A note: this does not work with the 40D/50D models. We got this for our Rebel XT and thought it might be usable with the 50D we recently bought, but no go. Understandable, but it would have been nice to not have to buy another one.

Pros:
- Reduces shake during long exposures
- Allows photographer to keep hands in pockets during cold shoots
- Wired, so doesn't depend on batteries

Cons:
- Overpriced
- I would say cord length, but if you're looking for long range, you shouldn't even be looking at this item
- Can't continue using it if you upgrade to anything higher than the 40D

I'm sure the quality's good like all Canon stuff, but it's ridiculous that they couldn't just put an AC port on the side with the other 7 ports, and have a cheaper, simpler adapter that could run the camera, charge the battery in-camera AND not require an overcomplicated fake battery and a silly notch in the battery compartment. Especially considering the cost/size/weight of the 5D body. I've had way cheaper camcorders and p&S cameras that came with a power cord that could charge the battery. (and remote controls, for that matter)

I really could use this, but I can't bring myself to spend that much for it, especially since it looks like it'd be time-consuming to unplug it and replace it with a real battery if I wanted to switch from tripod to hand-held quickly, which I need to do sometimes.

The canon Camera I have is listed as a supported camera but the foam pieces were not included.  The camera canon a4000 just slides all around in it and no way to use the buttons since there seems to be no room.  Wish I could use this but it seems amazon clearly had not included the foam inserts or they fell out before they got to me.

My son found my old camera but we did not know where the charging cord was at, so we ordered this one.  It seems to be working well, and allows him to use the camera.

I didn't actually use the camera. I ordered it to replace the VG-160 but it has a different cord. I am just writing this review so people know it's a different cord and not the same.

I have to return the item because it did not fit my canon camera as was advertised with the product.

I just received this charger to keep my Canon R600 going after the charge port failed and Canon refused to warranty the defect 10 months into the warranty. Rather then pay to buy a refurbished camera it's battery only power for this camera but forget the cord to charge them. The quality and function of the charger is at least as good as the China made Canon camera. It takes a while to charge the battery, but it took just as long to use the camera power cord so I can't complain. I'm just glad to have the camera back and ready to go. I use it for my sons time lapse art videos, which it does a good job.

I have a question what the alternating red/blue light means towards the end of the charge cycle?

I thought this was a stand alone charger that you could just plug in the outlet and charge the Battery and I thought that the Battery actually attaches to the Selphy.  So with this, you still need the Canon power cord to charge it.  Why didn't Canon just make the battery attachable to the Selphy and make the charger plug in the outlet.  I thought the point of using the battery was so you don't have to use the cord.  You have to plug the charger and the battery to the Selphy.  (I can't find my power cord, so I thought "Oh I'll just buy the battery and attach it to the Selphy and plug the charger in the wall to charge it).  Why didn't Canon do that?  They do that with there other portable printers.  On their portable pixma printer the battery attaches to the printer itself.  Not this stupid concept.  The Selphy would have looked like a cute compact portable picture printer but they have to make money on parts.  I'm disappointed.

A nice addition to my camera. Average quality, but worked well. With the separate charger it gives you the option to charge your battery without the camera. You can keep a charged battery on hand. We used it on our last vacation with no problems.

In low light shooting conditions it makes imerative to have a video light to get rich bright viewing experience.

Canon Video light is an excellent must have accessory that gives a light weight add on for your cam corder.

Pro's:
Easy to mount
Light weight
Consumes less power

Cons:

None that I am aware of.

Camera works great but it didn't come with a power supply cord. I guess I should have read the description better.
