The cable release is also better for portraits, you almost have to be in front of the camera for the remote to work. I have both and I use the cable release more than I use the remote. Would be nice if the cable was a little longer though.The cable release allows me to trip the shutter easily on long
exposures (fireworks, night, etc,) without having to reach around
the camera with a free hand holding the remote. I used to use the
remote on extreme closeups (MCON +closeups) initially and the
remote is much more comfortable for that setup as well. Just
remember to keep your eye to the eyepiece or shut it to avoid light
contamination in either case.

I use the cable release for portraits about 90% of the time. Just make SURE you close the eyepiece shutter, especially if you are outside. I have ruined a couple of pics by forgetting to do that. Also for portraits, especially of kids, the cable release is much better than the remote because there is no lag between pushing the button and the shutter firing. With the remote, there is a 2 second delay so if you are in the picture, you can hide the remote before the picture is taken.The cable release is also better for portraits, you almost have toThe cable release allows me to trip the shutter easily on long

--Can someone give me some advice on whether I should get a remote
cable release or stick with the remote control provided.
What are the differences and uses for these accessories?

And let us not forget (if it has not already been mentioned), you
cannot use the LCD live preview mode when you are using the
wireless remote as opposed to the cable. (They want you to buy the
cable!)
That 2-second delay- my experiments indicate that the camera is
focussing during this period.
Have you noticed, by the way, that the mockup of the new 4/3 system
has an infrared window in the back of the camera as well as the
front for receiving signals from the wireless remote?
I purchased the remote cable and never used it. In fact I still
have it though the E10 and the LiPO leave soon for new homes.
I was able to use the included remote for my needs. Unless there
are special circumstances involved, I would feel most folks could
use the included remote. The downside is the slight delay after
pressing the button AND making sure the camera is in the right mode
to use it.
Take care,
