incompetence!
grr. so i have a nice digital camera that does all kinds of cool tricks and does much to flatter my amateur photography skills. a few weeks ago i was going to try to use one of those nice bright yellow machines at Walmart to print out some digital pictures, and i figured that the best way to do this would be to bring the pictures in on my memory card. when i plugged in my camera to my computer and went to press the button that said "Uploads images to camera" but the button wasn't active.
so i wrote in to Canon and asked them why the software option is there, but not possible to use. This is their reply:
The EOS Digital Rebel XT does not support uploading images from the computer to the camera. We regret this inconvenience. Decisions to include or exclude a particular camera feature are made by our engineers and product designers in Japan, based on a number of factors. Consumer demand, technological limitations, and customer feedback are all taken in to consideration. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide you with an exact reason why this particular feature was not included in the EOS Digital Rebel XT.
grrr. i mean, come on now people, how hard could it really have been to include this "write" function??!?? i have this ginormous memory card, but can't use it to bring my pictures to be printed. this just seems like someone took an idea 95% of the way, and then just stopped. this pisses me off to no end... *rar*
