I've posted several shots recently using the remote control I made. I have used the device on an Olympus C4000z, an Olympus C2500l, and on a Kodak CX6230, all with good results. I have the Olympus IR remote for the C2500L, it works, but very limited range, 15 feet, very limited angle.
I can now fire a camera from as much as 100 feet away, although it is best from 50 feet or less, with the low power transmitter I have. I don't know what the equivalent lens to get Me that close to a bird would be, I'm using the macro setting sometimes, but it would be a big chunk of glass, for sure. Results are not always perfect, but getting better as I learn to set things up.
