I'm going to be in the market for a camera soon, and I'll never touch a Canon because of their printers. If they want good brand recognition they have to earn it and they have not for me

The only Canon printer I ever owned was a piece of garbage. For whatever reason, I couldn't just select my home wifi from a list like literally any other network-enabled device. I instead had to select an option buried several layers deep in the menus to have it try to automatically connect to an open network. Only after waiting 5 minutes for this to fail would it show a list of available networks.

Of course, it also forgot the network and password settings every time it lost power, so I had to go through the whole process again after time I unplugged the thing to clean behind the shelf.

I've never had much luck with the consumer level canon printers, absolute pieces of shit. I used to sell printers and would steer people towards brother or Epson. However last I saw, canon did still have printers that could be used entirely offline.
