Yep
Works with the XTi, but the range is poor (10-15ft).
It only works if you point the remote directly at the IR sensor.

Just as an FYI, the primary purpose of the RC1 is to allow you to remotely trigger your camera while taking a picture of yourself or a group of people with you in it.

User876, thank you for the information. I was searching on Amazon for another brand but the reviews said it had cheap construction.
