Remote for olympus cameras
Strengths: It controls a shutter of Olympus E500 remotely
Weakness: Too expensive
I use this remote for Olympus E500 dSLR. It works as it is supposed to do. I mainly use this for controling the shutter for family portrait. So, it works well as long as I use this remote from the front of the camera. Some people complain that the remote does not work from the side or back. I paid $25 for this remote, but I think it is too expensive for just a remote shutter. It should be much cheaper, or should come with the camera.

The Olympus is inherently capable of producing excellent results for a most modest outlay of funds, and to find the remote 'overpriced' or to suggest it should be "included in the price of the camera" is only to suggest this user is so tight that he squeaks when he walks. I am a man of most modest means indeed, and find it desirable to purchase the real (i.e. Olympus) product as opposed to a lesser 'knockoff' as experience has led me to gravitate to the product designed and birthed in the same barn. I could just as easily spent ten dollars less, but wish 'Oympus' to be displayed on the product, regardless of the fact that the camera and remote are both stamped 'Made in China' which is wholly another sad tale... Expensive? Definitely a subjective concept, whereas 'cheap' figures prominently in this individual's profile...
