Hello Patrick:
The optocoupler Siemens LH1056 that I use is open collector technology, it is like a solid state relay or and it has no polarity, and that is an advantage. It also supports loads of 100mA, compared to the 50mA that supports the HCPL-817 that you indicate, according to the data sheet.
I have not had any problems, I feed the diode with a resistance of 330 ohms and directly the output controls my Canon G11 and the EOS 40D. Works fine.
I attached 2 links for better information:

I wish you good luck.
Jesus
