Canon Canada announced today the launch of the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY service, an easy way for registered users to share photos and videos online with family and friends. The service is a direct response to the requests and needs of consumers who are social, mobile and eager to share their latest pictures with everyone they know.
CANON iMAGE GATEWAY provides users with 10 GB of available storage capacity for digital photos and videos, connects seamlessly to popular social networks such as Facebook for broad sharing online practically in real time, and allows the wireless upload of images and videos from Wi-Fi-capable Canon cameras and camcorders.
“We are always looking to provide our customers with added value so they can maximize their imaging experience in a way that is intuitive and connected to their everyday experience,” said Ian Macfarlane, Senior Vice-President of Sales and Service Operations, Canon Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon USA. “With CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, registered users of select products will be able to share their memorable moments in a fun and easy manner.”
As consumers of all levels showcase their memories online more and more each year, the overall user experience of uploading them to social networking sites needs to be convenient, fast and easy. With the launch of Canon’s new wireless-enabled VIXIA camcorders and PowerShot cameras, users of the VIXIA HF M52, VIXIA HF M50, VIXIA HF R32, VIXIA HF R30, PowerShot ELPH 530 HS or PowerShot ELPH 320 HS can share photos online via CANON iMAGE GATEWAY without the need of a cable.
To simplify the process of showing images to family and friends across the world, CANON iMAGE GATEWAY can act as the central location where photos can be stored and sorted, and then pushed out to various social networks from iOS devices such as an iPhone and iPad. Additionally, CANON iMAGE GATEWAY allows viewers to tag, rate and comment on photos, as well as organize photos into albums within the image library.
