For blur-triggering, for example during long exposures This IR remote works on my camera (EOS M) properly, but after only a few meters away, and on closer destinations on the camera front reaches the infrared strength of not to trigger the camera. For "selfies" to use, but for group photos with a slightly larger distance must then but in-camera shutter lag serve. The comparison with the original Canon remote release, I can not draw, because I have only the affordable price tried this copier as a gimmick.
Note: Most likely, up to one month delivery time directly from Hong Kong.
