Everything, in my opinion. They are the most unreliable gadgets ever invented, especially when you're working off a tripod while trying to concentrate on capturing a particular moment and trying to line up the damn thing with the IR receiver. The moment you want to capture arrives, you press the button on the release... press again ...press again... nothing! You take your eye away from the viewfinder to concentrate on lining up the remote and eventually it fires - but the object you want to capture is already in the next county. You might have guessed. I loath the things. Anyway - most manufactures seem to agree and are building wifi apps that allow use of a smartphone instead. Much better!
