The product isn't brilliantly described here, so I'll explain it in a little more detail.
There are four things this timer does-
1: Self timer. Set the time the timer will wait for before starting he next steps.
2: Interval set. Sets the time the timer will wait before taking a new photo.
3: Bulb mode duration. Set your camera to bulb mode and the timer can hold the shutter open for up to 100 hours (~4 days). Set your camera to continuous shooting and the camera will keep taking photos for the time you set.
4: Photo Counter. Set the camera to take 1-99 photos, or leave it on infinite.
Using these modes together, this is a powerful tool. Some uses so far:
Time lapse: Wait 2 minutes and then take a photo every 30 seconds until 50 photos have been taken.
Astrophotography: Wait 5 seconds and then open shutter for 1/4 hour.
Nature photography: Take 5 second burst of photos.
Build quality is excellent, and the controls are perfectly designed. There is also a nice big button which can be locked down so you can use it like a normal shutter release.
I was impressed to see the timer can trigger autofocus a second or two before taking the photo. Mine came with a battery as well.
The manual is comprehensive, useful and well phrased, although a couple of times the translation to English results in a few errors (you can set the number of hours, minutes or secretaries) but none are major enough to cause problems in understanding.
Aside from the short cable, this is the ultimate shutter release.

It's basically described well by Alex and Thomas, but I'd like to restate that it's much more feature-paked than any Canon remote for cameras without the "N" fitting or whatever it is.
I think Thomas either got a different item to me or ot it slightly wrong, the "number of shots" can be set up to 399, not 99, but to be honest you'll probably either use infinite or <99 anyway.
Now on to the bad points: it's a little cheap (quality-wise). The timer can hop around a bit in how long it thinks a second is - it's hard to represent this textually but it'll do something like:
1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8--- <-- real time
1---2--3----4---5---6----7--8--- <-- how the timer can count sometimes
So it averages out at a (real) second per (its interpretation of a) second, but if you need it to be precise, then it may disappoint.
Luckily, I'm using it for time lapse, where the camera will decide the shot length and the remote is used purely as an intervalometer with large enough interval for the odd second not to be a problem, and astrophotography where the shot length is generally long enough not to be affected by this.
Also, one thing that kinda bugs me about this but it's not a problem is that it's always on. The only way to turn it off is to take the battery out. Having said that, the manual specifically states that it's an always-on device (like a watch!) so I guess that's normal. And it doesn't seem to be using a lot of juice, although I wouldn't know as I've only had it a couple of weeks (but the battery hasn't died yet!)
And yes, the cable is somewhat short but not really a problem for me.
Hope this helps someone out.

LCD timer remote is a must have for every photographer because it lets you manage some settings without touching the camera. Plus you can take a number of shots at specific times. You can adjust exposure, interval, number of shots. It's simple to use. You learn it in five minutes. The LCD monitor lits, so you can use it in the dark. It comes with a very helpful manual.
Tip: if you want to shot images at 1/4, 1/20, 1/400... you can adjust the settings from the camera menu and set remote's exposure setting to zero.

a must have for timelapse
I built my own intervelometer back when you couldn't get these for much less than £200 (Canon own brand) but it was nowhere near as simple and robust as this. Read more

Yongnuo
For the price this remote is very good. Not yet used in the "field" but trhe controls appear reasonably straight forward to use after a lot of "trial and error"!. Read more

Great gadget to add to my collection
Love this device, only downside is having to remove the batteries to turn it off. Other than that a great investment.

God product!
As stated by other reviewers the main disavantage is the absence of a on/off switch. To remove the batterys every time is very boring. Read more

Not the same product
Ordered this, was fulfilled by Amazon, but it is not the product specified. Mine was a Yongnuo product, not BV. Still, it has the same functions and the price is about right.

Works great with Canon EOS 300D
I got a "Yongnuo" branded timer remote, which otherwise looks identical. Bought for my Canon EOS 300D (aka Digital Rebel). Read more

Was suggested I get a timer for astrophotography, to be exact the canon official timer. I am not going to pay £150 for that though. Read more
