Looking for a decent remote switch for my 40D to eliminate camera shake caused by pressing the shutter on the camera itself. I bought one a while back for my former XTi, but it was a cheap-o model and it never even worked. I want something good!

I use a Canon RS-80 it sells for $79.95 Canadian and it works fine on both my 40D & 30D. You can go to the Canon TC-80N3 Timer Remote for $222.44 Canadian, it has all the bells and whistles.

You want one of these Canon LC-5 Remote Control Shutter Release very good but expensive! great range though

I use the RS-80 which is pricey considering what it is, but in light of the total cost of my kit, the cost is inconsequential. Here's one on fleabay for a little over $55 w/free shipping:

My favourite is a wireless remote I bought from one of those Chinese Ebay places. Works very well.

I have one of these (but this is a newer version). Works well and I've heard good reports from others as well.

I use the PHOTTIX that I got from HongKong via ebay. Cost is sooooooo little (can't remember what I paid) but it's excellent and works with my 20D & 40D.
