Summary: 5 Stars
A very useful feature of the Canon Rebel series cameras is that they can be fired remotely using Canon's RC-1 controller. The RC-1 was used first with Rebel film cameras, and the same unit is compatible with the various versions of the digital Rebel. Using infrared waves to trigger the shutter, the unit can be set in one of two modes, fire (no delay), and delay (2 second delay in firing). The RC-1 is powered by two three volt, CR1220 lithium batteries. Stated range is five meters or about sixteen feet. Since the RC-1 apparently will also trigger the new EOS 5D Mark II, it should become even more popular.
While the RC-1 works very well, and is not a super high cost item, there are other remote trigger units compatible with the Rebel (and other Canon cameras) that provide the same basic functions, at a fraction of the price. These units are manufactured in Asia, and are readily available on eBay starting at about four dollars. While these units work well with the Rebel series, they might not work with the 5D Mark II, so you need to check for compatibility.
Canon does not manufacture a wireless remote for their prosumer SLR's, like the 30D, 40D, and 50D. However remote units for these cameras are also available from the same Asian sources. Because these wireless triggers require both a transmitter and receiver, they are more expensive, but do work well, and add a missing dimension that Canon is unwilling to provide.
