Only the cheap ones. The Nikon DSLR types have an on-off switch that
is mechanical. They also sell an application which allows you to
control the camera remote from a Windoz PC. My D40 has an
intervalometer mode allowing the camera to take pictures at preset
intervals.

How do you like the D40? I'm considering upgrading to that from an old
Coolpix 995 which is still serving me well. I want an instant-click
digital. My 995 takes several seconds to boot and focus before I can
snap a shot, and lots of times that's too long to wait.
