I don't recall ever coming across a point and shoot digital camera with
remote control capability. To get remote control capability, you need to
look at SLR models. That being said, try checking
http://www.dpreview.com to see if they list any point and shoot cameras
with remote control capability.

The Nikon 8400 - a point-and-shoot model - has a remote shutter release.
I'm sure other do as well.

I dunno, my Olympus C-40Z came with the standard Olympus wireless controller
(RM-1), and its replacement (C-60Z) also comes with the RM-2. If you were
willing to accept 10x zoom and 3 megapixels, I know the Canon S1 supports an
optional remote control, but its replacement S2 doesn't seem to.

However, it does tend to be a feature reserved for the prosumer and higher
cameras. B&H in its specifications will list the remote control and whether it
comes with the camera.
