I've used the IR remote on my Canons, and it's a nice feature to have. But it
works only if the trigger is in front of the camera, so I'm not sure it's a
substitute for a radio remote, which would presumably be omni-directional.
Radio shutter remote control are only expensive if made by the camera
maker. My radio remote is about seven years old, has controlled three
different cameras, works in all directions up to at least 30 yards,
and cost me less than a six foot *wired* remote from the camera
maker. It does everything the shutter button does with no problems at
all.
