Does anyone know if any of the G series can be shutter controlled by a radio wave remote?

Thanks

I've heard the Yongnuo RF-602 wireless remote works.

The Yongnuo RF-603 (and 602) work with my G12 and G1X; http://lightdescriptio​n.blogspot.com/search/​label/RF-603 (external link)

I use the Aputure Pro Coworker. Ive used it with my G series and DSLRS. You just need to order the applicable cable for the model used. Its just a short cable that goes to the reciever from the camera. The remote is small very portable, decent range. It allows focus confirmation and timer.

They have a newer model that has the reciever that plugs directly into the camera.

Do you have a G, or looking to buy one if it has RC shutter?

G7, G10, and I think G11 have remote control ports (wired). You have to check replies or do your homework for G12, G15 or others. If they have the wired port, you just need to find a wireless transmitter/receiver set that works with Canon/G-series protocols. Sometimes these are called interval timers, but can be used to press the shutter release.

A more difficult question is "can you set and change the shutter speed remotely"? I think that you did not ask for that.

However, if that's what you want... read on.
I have a G9. Canon removed the remote control port for the G9 and then put it back in on the G10 etc.
So as a workaround there is CHDK. Google it. It is a way to access certain Canon cameras internal commands. It is possible to program the CHDK for shutter speeds, and then tie that to a controller such as a Stamp or an Arduino. There are a couple small companies (UK) that provide RF remote kits for kite photography...

It just depends on your needs and your budget.
