I wish there was a remote for the G9.
The gorillapod holds it steady, there is no mirror to slap and shake the camera, I just find using the timer fiddly.

I had the same gripe with my S2IS. I went searching for a solution and I found some stuff about people making (or trying to) USB remotes from generic USB controllers, but it sounds like some programming knowledge is needed.
