Jul 26, 2010 10:01 | #1 I'm looking for a wireless remote for my 7D and would greatly appreciate your thoughts and comments as to which one would do both a focus and shutter release and getting something that won't be more trouble than its worth ..... thank-you in advance for your assistance ...

I changed all the batteries so that's not it. I don't know if I'd recommend it. I'm looking for something a little more reliable myself.

Aug 04, 2010 01:34 | #6 I've had the Yongnuo YN-128 for my 40D for a year or so and it's great - allows seperate focus/shutter release and works from a good distance too. And cost-wise it's pretty much a no brainer...very cheap. Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy

Haven't even had to replace the batteries. Not to mention the fact that I'd rather deal with the POTN store than some HK ebay outfit.

However, as I said, I'm quite disappointed that it lasted less than a year. I just bought one from Amazon called Accessory Power. It seems to be better constructed and works great. Hopefully it will last longer than the last one. I like this one because it has a hot shoe connection too.
