I have just bought a canon RC-6 Remote control for my Canon T3i for £3.70GBP ( Shipping included ).
It has two options - an instant shot and a 2 second delayed shot - tried it out yesterday and it worked great first time.
Thought it my be a joke purchase but for £3.70 it was no big risk. Amazed that it worked and needed no setting up whatsoever.
You have to set your camera on remote in the drive mode menu.
It works by infra red and presume it should work on your camera just as well.

Thanks! Another alternative (and less expensive too!) :thumbup:

Just be aware that IR (Infra red) remotes are often limited by direct line of sight to the sensor on the front of the camera, by distance, and sometimes by bright sunlight.
But this should not be a problem for a self portrait or for the photographer to join a group shot.

Radio remotes are more flexible in that they can be used at greater distances, around corners, in any lighting and be in any direction from the camera.

Your camera has to be compatable with wi-fi I have a D5100 and a small Canon pocket camera, SX210, that is compatable the Eye-Fi website has almost everything you would want to know. It is "supposed" to work with local WiFi hotspots, (McDonalds, Starbucks,etc) but I won't go there today with my experience with hotspots.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
Check out the link for the wiireless shutter I posted earlier here on this thread.

Wireless means just that: no wires needed for communication between two devices.

Infra Red (like commonly used on your TV remote) using an invisible" red light that pulses to communicate information to your TV. Ditto for the camera IR remote shutter release.

Thanks for the comprehensive response - this site is great to increase your knowledge.

The radio units use, radio waves. The radio units have two pieces, a transmitted and a receiver that plugs into the remote shutter release jack on your camera. Pretty simple to install and use.

("EyeFi" is a technology company, not a technology that I'm familiar with).

Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), is another radio-wave based technology commonly used for reliable two-way between computers, smart phones, and security devices using the ISM radio band.
All of the radio-based remote shutter releases that I have seen to date do NOT use Wi-Fi. Most use a use a simple digital radio signal.
