it allows you to take great self portraits and make candid images of animals or kids.

it is also helpful when playing with multiple exposures and flashes in the dark (which is what my kids love to do).

if you're looking for a remote that makes life simple for your spouse or kids (those not-so-techy folks in your family), harmony is it.
from www.amazon.com
we had our neighbor's kid do the programming and set-up so i can't comment on ease-of-programming but it is extremely easy to use and works right through the cabinet as advertised.
from www.amazon.com
my wife and kids find it to be a no-brainer, it's just one button, with a picture and a title such as watch tv, or dvd player.
from www.amazon.com
let's say you turn on the system with the remote, and your kids turn off parts of the system by hand (not with remote), the next time you push an activity on the remote, you don't get what you were
from www.amazon.com
- seems durable in case the kids drop it on the tile floor.

by way of comparison, we originally had a philips pronto, which worked, but i hated the touch screen, and it eventually died of a broken screen after cruel abuse by our kids.
