Jianisi Digital SLR Remote for Olympus Camera

Pros: Nice size, looks like something Olympus would put their name on. Battery is quite common.

Cons: Used with Olympus C-770: Shutter button doesn't work. Zoom doesn't work. Only functions in playback mode, to zoom in and out.

Other: All I wanted was a remote shutter release, but it can't even do that.

Pros: Very Small and Portable. Does the job. Worked right out of the box.

Cons: No Cons

Other: This is another nice addition to camera gadgets. There's so many out here and the price are excellent. I would recommend it

Pros: -good quality -very slim and lightweight -covers several models -much lower cost compared to original

Cons: none really

Other: grab it!

Pros: For the price, the build quality is one of the best. The box comes a little crushed, but well, who cares as long as the remote control is working. I tried the remote the moment i got it. All the buttons worked fine. And i even wondered if I should tell me friends that I got a 100% working and compatible remote control for under S$10. Products arrive within expected dates, and I am currently using the Olympus one.

Cons: Hmm...bad points? Too cheap?

Other: What are you waiting for? Get a few and sell them!

Pros: - Great with Olympus E-410
- Small, slim and lightweight
- Worked right out of the box
- All the buttons worked fine
- Works in BULB mode
- Works in AF and MF modes
- Good build quality
- Very cheap

Cons: None, but i have it only one week..

Other: S button
- first press is like half-pressed shutter (in AF modes)
- second take photo
W - for start bulb
T - for stop bulb.
I would recommend it for night shots/long exposure shots

Pros: Works on the new Olympus E520. Almost cheaper to buy it from Deal Extreme than it is to buy a battery!
Its small and dosen't take up much space.

Cons: No Instructions, but it isn't that hard to figure out how to use it.
When I opened the battery compartment I accidently dropped the battery and holder, it's not immediately obvious which way round to put it back in.

Other: If you can use a camera like the E520, you are probably going to be able to figure out how to use the remote. If you have an Olympus DSLR then BUY IT, you won't regret it.

Pros: Slim and small enough to fit in even the smallest camera back. Looks good in my opinion.
Good build quality.
I've had this item for few days now and run some tests with it. Does work.
And the price is amazing, about one tenth of original brand.

Cons: Buttons are not explained in the user manual. However, they are explained in another review here, and with tree buttons it's not really complicated anyway.
The user manual (one page) seems to be a generic one, so doesn't contain instuctions on how to turn remote reception on in the camera, it just refers to the camera's manual. In my Olympus E-400 the remote operation is activated from the same selection than timer.

Other: I guess I don't have much use for a camera remote, but with this price I can get one for just-in-case.

Pros: * Works right out of the box (battery even included)
* Controls my E-410 like a charm
* Works well from most angles (I've yet to test its range)
* Retail remote is 25-30$. Do the math.

Cons: * Build quality is good but not perfect (the glossy front panel isn't entirely flat)
* Very few buttons, and not all of them even have a function on my camera. Keep in mind this is similar if not identical to the OEM remote from Olympus (what a shame).
* No instructions (except a note on infra-red light being invisible ;))

Other: I got 2, for myself and for a friend. At this price it could have one big "Shoot" button and I'd still recommend it :)

Pros: Costs nothing compared to original Olympus remote.
The remote is small, fits nicely to pocket or to camera bag.
Build quality is good.
Looks good in my opinion.

Cons: There are no instructions in the remote which button does what.

Other: I don't need the remote often, but this was still work buying. At times it is good to have a remote and this one does the job perfectly well.

Pros: -Works exactly the same as the Olympus remote
-Can activate bulb mode
-Works with Olympus dSLRs

Cons: -Somewhat cheap build quality
-No manual to speak of
-Very little tactile feedback on buttons

Other: Absolutely worthwhile. Works out of the box with Olympus dSLRs.
