The convenience of this wireless remote cannot be overstated. Whether I'm capturing self-portraits, group shots, or long-exposure images, the RC-6 allows me to trigger my Canon camera's shutter from a distance with ease. This eliminates the need for awkward self-timers or relying on someone else to press the shutter button for me.
The compact design of the RC-6 makes it easy to carry around in my camera bag, ensuring that I always have it on hand when I need it. The responsive button and reliable wireless connectivity have consistently delivered seamless performance, allowing me to capture the perfect shot without any hassle.
What's truly impressive is the longevity of this remote controller. Despite being purchased nearly a decade ago, it continues to work flawlessly in 2024. It's a testament to Canon's commitment to quality and durability.
Overall, I highly recommend the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote Controller to any Canon camera owner looking for a convenient and reliable way to remotely trigger their camera's shutter. It's a must-have accessory that has greatly enhanced my photography experience over the years.
--------------------------------------------------------
First thing you should know is, yes this is compatible with the Canon EOS Rebel T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 18-135mm EF-S IS STM Lens and probably with the Canon EOS Rebel T5i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-135mm EF-S IS STM Lens as well since it literally the same camera. I was looking all over to find out if it was compatible, on Canon's website, in product reviews, in Google searches, but didn't find anything confirming absolutely that it's compatible--until after I bought it and found this information somewhere in the user manual. In any case, it works despite my model of camera not being listed in the product description.
Most of all, it's nice to finally be in front of the camera for group shots and such without having to press the shutter button and then rush to a reserved spot in the crowd. It was also extremely helpful in making a new headshot for use in online profiles such as Monster, LinkedIn, Indeed and the like. Before this I had to rely on the photography skils of others taking just a few shots which never came out as I wanted them to.
With the flip out screen of the Canon T4i I've been able to see myself in Live View, take multiple headshots myself, and then choose from the best of them. This wouldn't work nearly as well if I were simply using the timer setting.
There is even a switch on the back to change between immediate shutter and two second delay--so that you can hit the button and get the remote out of site for the photo.
It also works in Bulb Mode as well for shots such as Astrophotography and Fireworks, so you can enjoy the view and get the shots you really want to get without having to be tied to the camera. The remote works even at fifteen feet away or more.
Since it's an infrared transmitter, it does not work from behind the camera--because the sensor is on the front of the camera--but otherwise it works as well as a wired trigger.
Bottom Line: It's a wonderful tool to have, and the price is right. I recommend anyone with a compatible camera get one.

I asked, and the seller told me it would work, and he was exactly right!
This remote also works for starting and stopping video which is a nice addition with cameras such as the Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-inch LCD (Body Only) , Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only) , or Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imaging with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens .
As far as the inability to use this from behind the camera and others lowering their rating because of this, I was aware that it would not work from behind and it was something I was willing to deal with. Your IR receiver is in the front of the camera. This is not a fault of the remote, just how it works.
Side note:
For the customers that mentioned this not working with their camera, or anyone who is unsure. Go to the Canon USA website > Consumer and Home Office > Products > Cameras. Select your camera (if available) > Supplies & Accessories. Under the sub-section remotes, you will see the remotes that are compatible with your camera.
EDIT: I have edited my review and docked one star after a recent experience with the camera. If you use this remote outdoors in sunlight, and especially in shaded areas with light breaking through (ie under trees). My recent experience ended up in quite a bit of frustration for family portraits (which included myself). I could not get the camera to fire from more than 6 feet away with this remote. Which is much less than the 16 foot range it advertises. Otherwise still a great remote.
