The cheap timer will probably work well, but you will have to test out exposure speeds for consistency. I shot some time lapse tests of clouds when I first got the 550D at high shutter speeds and it flickered quite a bit. (125/sec. and above.)

However I shot some 1 second exposure time lapse at night on the freeway from the dashboard of my car and it looked very smooth.

Most likely a slower speed will be more accurate like 1/4/sec or slower but you will need to use heavy ND filters in full daylight.

Sorry for such a newb question, but why exactly does it flicker? I heard this being an issue with the 7d as well. I shot a bunch of timelapses with my 50d and I never had a flickering problem, even above 1/125 shutter.

Also, Im looking for one as well. The one for my 50d doesnt work on the T2i and I went to go shoot a sunset yesterday, set up the shot, and then tried to plug it in and was just like, ahhh CRAP!

resurrecting this thread, I know but has anyone tested any further the two intervalometers from ebay that were posted on here?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280383124180&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

and http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...778032&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4658wt_845

Is it safe to get any of the two, or should I purchase the one from Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Remote-Control-Digital Cameras/dp/B001CCH2MO/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t

I have not tested any of those in your post but this one:

is working just fine with my 550D...
