I did an interesting experiment. The company I'm with, and help found, is working with the new 802.15.4 radio spec, often referred to as Zigbee, but that is just another layer on top of 802.15.4.
I hooked the output of one of our devices to a couple of transistors and hooked them into the N3 connector on the 5D using some Molex pins. I was able to remotely focus and fire the camera. I'm wondering if there is much of a market demand to make them commercially available, at about $75-150 (set) (depending on connector cost, packaging, etc). Since they are programmable, they could be set up in a lot of interesting ways, besides just a push button remote. The devices are very secure and connection specific, and can network to other similar devices. The data rate is only 200kbps, so sending a raw image wireless with these device could take 10 minutes and is not too practical.
