I got this remote mainly for self portraits and some product photography. For self portraits it is definitely handy. I can stay in position without having to go back to the camera to press the shutter for every picture. Same thing for product photos, I can move the items around or hold something in place while the camera sits on its tripod.
Pro's:
Affordable
Very useful
Can attach to a key chain
Con's:
A little pricier than others, But it definitely has a nice quality feel to it.
Relies on line of sight. But honestly if your behind the camera you might as well just press the button on the camera itself.

There is only one reason why i am giving this item a 4 star review: It fit my need perfectly!
I'm an amateur astro photographer and was looking for a quick and inexpensive way to take pictures without shaking my telescope mount. The range on this remote is absolute crap. Walk more than 5-6 feet away from the camera and it will not work. If you're looking for an accessory that will let you take great group photos without having to run back to your place, then look elsewhere, the range will probably kill those plans. If all you need is a remote shutter release, then buy this. It works just fine when close to the camera, there are no set up steps and it's easy to carry around.
For the price, it's an absolute must for budding astro photographers. Everyone else should probably get something with a bit more range.
