One thing that can make up for lack of a remote is a timer.
On my canon more pro-sumer g3 (which also has a remote), I use the 10s timer if I am taking a longer exposure shot - hit the shoot button and step away till it takes the pic.
It like a few others, has the "expose for x seconds with the shutter open, expose for x seconds with the shutter closed and subtract noise in the 2nd from the first" thingee. I think it works up to 15 seconds or so, don't remember. It's enough to capture pretty much most things you'd want, esp @ F/2 and ISO 400.
I hook it up to my telecope and have fun with moon / planet pics.
