Here is the original post from Tom Abrahamsson. I have recently ordered two releases. Their main benefit is supposed to be that by making the shutter release more sensitive, they allow you to release the shutter with a much lighter touch, thus reducing camera shake. If true, this should make shooting in poor light conditions when you want to use slowish shutter speeds more viable. I have not yet received my releases, so I cannot testify to the benefits first-hand, but the many positive opinions expressed on the list by others are good enough for me.
