Compact Digital Camera with Remote Control?

Hi

I am planning to scan books by following method.

*www.instructables.com/id/Quickly-Scan-a-Textbook-With-a-Camera/step1/Theory-and-Materials/pdf#

Pls suggest me compact digital camera which must have some way of triggering it remotely as said in article.. ie remote control or shutter release cable


1 D-SLR digital cams are out of my budget.
2 And its hard for me to make any manual remote controll or shutter release cable.


Thanks
