Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.

Canon has dropped the ball so hard imo. Most of my other video friends and contacts who use dslrs switched to Sony.
I also use Sony (and Panasonic) cameras, and both their apps just work without an account. That could change at any time, unfortunately.
One thing that could work is to use an older version of the app without updating it. I do this with GoPro Quik, since the “new” Quik app is basically one big advertisement to get you to pay for a subscription to edit your videos.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony required an account. But who knows, maybe the camera division is under better management
Interestingly enough, there is an option to sign in to an account in the Sony app, but it is not a requirement to actually use the app, connect to the camera, etc.
About the only thing keeping me off Sony is that they’ve got a really bad star eater problem in their DSLRs, and even still somewhat in their mirror less.

Not sure they’re much better, they charge to install an intervalometer app. Its extremely basic functionality that should be there as standard.
