drevilsmom Goldmember  1,100 posts Likes: 1 Joined Apr 2008 Location: Miami, FL More info | Dec 12, 2008 11:26 | #1 I'm looking into purchasing a wireless remote from Amazon. I would really prefer to use them as I am also ordering a few more items at the same time. I'm looking at either the Adorama or Opteka wireless remotes, but as this is the first time in foraying into remotes, I'd like some advice. I have a 40D, and I'm wanting the option of opening the shutter for several minute long exposures, along with being able to take group shots with me in it! Elizabeth

Dec 20, 2008 22:29 | #11 Thanks for all the responses! I do believe that I will probably get the Phottix, as the consensus for not only this thread but many others states that it is decent. Elizabeth

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info | Dec 22, 2008 15:27 | #13 Back when the Canon 20D was the current product, there was a lot of activity with Adidt radio remotes and wired remotes on eBay. The radio unit had 100m range. Then more recently the vanished even from the web. Now they seem to have 'gone legit' with a web site! You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
