Comment

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

It’s more than just file transfer, unfortunately.

If you want to control your camera through the app, or geotag photos… you now have to use an account that connects to Canon (and probably 1001 “partners”).

  Unless the app was working without internet access before.
  
  It was.
  
  The mistake is buying a camera that requires an app that isnt using an open protocol and expecting Canon not to make use of their software lock in thumb screws.
  
  To ge fair, these cameras were purchased before the Golden Age of Enshittification.
  
  As hardware features like built-in GPS were offloaded to apps, choices became slim.
