DISQUS

But Paul - it's a FEATURE. Think of all the marketing copy that would die a horrible death if they couldn't proudly state in garish letters on the box "Print at the touch of a button!" and "Now, using Canon(r)(tm) patented technology - DirectPrint(tm)(r)- you can print at the touch of a button(r)(tm)"

And so on... :)

Absolutely true, David. The crazy thing is these are professional cameras. They cost upwards of $1300 and are used by enthusiasts and pros, not the general public. No one who buys a 30D is fooled by the button or thinks it is a great feature.

Oh shit, sorry David Adams Johnson of 28 Laguna Way, Cape Town, South Africa (telephone number +2721 555 6942.) I'll be sure to refer to you as Octopussy from now on.

I am building up some seriously bad karma here, aren't I? I'd better watch my ride home tonight. Any strange lights in my mirrors and I am diving into the bushes.
