Canon's mirror lock up implementation is really quite simple and good, in my opinion (except that there is no mirror lock up button, of course... but you can't have a button for everything and still end up with an easy to use camera).
You activate mirror lock up, so you can use it.
Then, when you press the shutter button, the mirror will go up. For the rest, nothing happens. Only when you press the shutter button again (obviously, via a remote... else mirror lock up has little use <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> ) a photo gets taken. No fiddly stuff with setting a timer, just simple.
The camera keeps using mirror lock up until you switch it off again.
If you have mirror lock up "on", and you use it in combination with the self release timer, and you press the shutter button, the mirror goes up, and after 2 seconds the photo gets taken.
Obviously, with this implementation, it is easy for remotes to add functionality to this, you can then via a remote make a variable timer period between the mirror going up and the photo being taken.

I've used the 5D a little when I've borrowed it. And I liked that way of doing it <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> It could be an optional way for remote on the K-x, as you can't connect a wire release to it :/
