Let's retort: there is no logical explanation for the PB, there is no practical use for the PB, there is no reason for it to exist, the 1% of the people who have actually pushed that button, did so out of curiosity. There can only be one, single reason for that button to exist on those DSLR's. Marketing. Because of that button, they surely won't sell any less cameras, with it, perhaps it might lean someone who is intimidated by using computers and needing to know how to 'manipulate' an image, it might convince someone who's used to point, shoot, take the roll out, have it processed, get photos, that digital cameras are easy to get along with, too, see, you just plug the camera to the printer, push the print button on the camera, and voila, you get photos from the printer's tray! Easy! 5D and holy trinity of primes. Now the 90mm TS-E TS-E fly bit me. I hate these forums.
