Default Point and shoot that's comaptible with wireless remote?

I've got a Canon DSLR that I absolutely love, and I frequently use my wireless remote with it. However, there are times when I don't want to lug around a camera that big, but I still want the convenience of compatibility with a wireless remote. Does anyone know of a Canon point and shoot that has that ability?

Thanks.

From a quick look on Canon's website it looks like the only Powershot that supports a wireless remote is the SX1 IS, which will be smaller than a DSLR but not realy a pocket camera by any means.

Self-timer?

My current point and shoot already has a self-timer. I just prefer to use a wireless remote because I have a daily style blog, and it's much easier to take pictures of my outfits using a remote as opposed to walking back to the camera after every shot.

The SX1 looks like it's not much smaller than my DSLR, so it wouldn't really help much.

Ok, this is going to sound nuts, but the G11. But not with the wireless remote you're using now, unless it's radio-based. The Canon G11 has a cable-release port that uses the same mini-minijack (2.5mm--the kind you use for cellphone headsets) that the dRebel SLR line does. So, you could hook up a Yong Nuo radio shutter release. And no tedious mucking about with infrared. If you already have RF-602 flash triggers, you could use those, too, by simply purchasing the proper shutter cable.

Some of the (much) older Powershots (G1-G6, Pro 1, Pro 90 IS, S1 IS, S60, S70) can use the WL-DC100. Not sure if that means you can use an RC1/RC5 with 'em, though.
