CyberDyneSystems Admin (type T-2000)  More info | Oct 17, 2007 14:59 | #18 I still think the print button is useless, even though I know a number of people that print directly without an PP, these people purchase printers with card readers built in, and insert the card, not hook up the camera. It's a far more sensible solution. GEAR LIST

Oct 17, 2007 15:11 | #19 I guess Canon could have the best of both Worlds. Make the button programmable.. that way people that are attracted to the feature would buy their printer (and ink) and also include the rebate/coupon in a camera to 'lead the horse' so to speak. Either way, they get more ink sales which I argue is ther ultimate goal. Primm wrote in post #4139285  I work in a neonatal intensive care ward. We have a Canon P&S and a little photo printer....it is the only photo of their babies while they are alive. That must be a sad situation. Glad the technology is working for you and the families.

It's a far more sensible solution. Well my post was intended to present more of a Win Win solution for Canon and the Consumer. Canon gets their ink sales and loyal customers save a Buck/Quid/Rouble/Lira/Euro/Dong/Colon/Ringit/Peso/Yen/Rand/Pound etc on the hardware. People buying any printer with card readers doesn't do anything for Canon. Where's Canon's motivation ?

He seemed pretty pushy then I fessed up and and told him I get my prints done at Costco. He didn't have much to say after that. lol! Where else can you get a good quality 11x16 for $3. :P I hate buying ink. Canon 40D | EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS w/ ridiculously overpriced lens hood | EF 70-200mm f/4L | EF 15mm f/2.8

I pretty much did just that; I also wanted to show my wife how it could be done with her compact camera and printer. Even she uses the card reader in the printer, though.
