Soft release
What can I say, it does the job well. Comfortable.

Small, functional but slightly overpriced
The product itself is good. It feels good, and if you're like me and using a Fujifilm X10, it's kind of a necessity. I think the price is a bit too much, for what is essentially a small alloy button, however it feels good and doesn't take anything away from my camera and how it functions and looks.

A good idea that works.
The only thing I don't like about my new Sony RX10 IV is that the shutter button is quite hard to locate by touch only - I only use the viewfinder, not the screen. This simple remedy works fine.

Don't look like the picture
Whilst they do the job adequately, the look of the button is nothing really like the images you can see in the description. I thought I was buying something that looked solid and chunky, but when I opened the packet, my first thought was they weren't even metal. I think they are, it's just that they look like they're made of plastic. The edge of the button is knurled, so you can tighten it better than some smooth buttons, but again, it's certainly less than the images would let you believe. They are definitely pushing the boundaries of misleading advertising.I was going to send them back as a point of principle but I'll use them anyway. I imagine they'll fall off at some point and I'll lose them, but I won't reorder any more.

Simple, worth considering if you find the shutter button fiddly.
Even though I have never found the shutter button difficult to use on my beloved Fujifilm X20 camera, I will concede that this little button extension does make it a little easier to press and control. So if you find the shutter release button awkward, it would certainly be worth considering one of these. There were two in the packet. They are simple, solid metal; but feel neatly finished. They fit well, and so far haven't worked loose accidently.

It works!!!
I own a Fuji X30 camera, and my son owns a Fuji X-Pro2. He told me about these soft release buttons ages ago, said he wanted one, but didn't want to pay a lot of money for "a little button". When I was offered this as a review sample I jumped at the chance to get it so he could finally get to try one, and when I saw what it cost - around about a tenner - I realised that his idea of "a lot of money" and my idea of "a lot of money" were a long way apart.When the box arrived there were actually two identical buttons inside, and whether this is deliberate or an accident it meant that we could both have our own. I'll admit that I was expecting to be hugely disappointed, and to end up wondering what the fuss was about, but I'm here to tell you that this is well worth having.The button (all silve

Poor Quality Shutter Release Button
I have and continue to use soft release "buttons" for my Fuji XT3 and X Pro2 cameras for some years now. They are useful in providing a degree of control of the shutter button, making it easier to find the half way point for focus and exposure, before fully depressing to take the shot. They also allow the shutter button to stand proud of the other controls, making it easier to find whilst keeping an eye to the camera. This offering from VKO comes in a simple small cardboard box the size of a matchbox, inside of which are two small ziplock bags each with a small silver button and tiny rubber washer. The washer sits over the screw thread and the button is then screwed into the shutter release. The button feels lightweight and flimsy, especially compared to my current shutter release button,
