I just got this e-mail even though I don't use Canon Image Gateway. Looks like anyone who uses it had better have the images backed up. ;)

Dear CANON iMAGE GATEWAY member

In Spring 2007 we are planning to introduce a new and enhanced CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. This email contains important information concerning transferring your images.


With the launch of the new version of CANON iMAGE GATEWAY,
your images and movies in your current online photo album will not be transferred to the new system and as a result they will be deleted.

If you do not have a backup of your original images and would like to save a copy, please follow the instructions below [1]. If you do not have a backup of your original movies and would like to save a copy, please follow the instructions below [2].

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but hope the new improved system will bring lots of great benefits and in return here are some of the new and improved features you can expect:

Your photo album:
We are making your personal online album a friendlier place to be. You will be able to create and share your online albums more easily with family and friends, build your own album around themes such as celebrations and be creative by applying fun backgrounds and layouts.

Customise your camera:
For great start up images and sounds, simply click on "My Camera" to download those little extras to personalise your camera. Plus choose Picture Style just as you would a film, allowing you to produce the best result for your subject.

Learn more:
New CANON iMAGE GATEWAY is designed to deliver interesting articles and features related to your registered products. We will also include how advanced printing techniques can open a whole new world of creative fun.

Online printing:
Our new online printing function has been expanded to enable visitors to order a variety of prints from the comfort of their own home, visitors can also print directly with their Canon printer, from the comfort of their own home.

Thank you for choosing CANON iMAGE GATEWAY as your online photo album. We hope you will take the opportunity to experience the new CANON iMAGE GATWAY and the exciting new features!

Kind regards,
The CANON iMAGE GATEWAY Team

yeah i just got that too CT, thanks for posting!
 
Got it too, not uploaded anything since about the first week I had the camera though so no probs for me :)
 
I suppose I might have registered - can't remember. :thinking: Never uploaded anything though.

Oh Ive definitely registered....Just never got the email..... :(

Ah well. Not to worry, I haven't uploaded anything either. But it's nice to be included :D
 
Im registered on this if I recall (should have been a leaflet with your camera), never used it though as it didnt allow me to link to my pics on their site like photobucket so gave up on it, really should sign in and see what I put there someday :p
 
Anyone who has taken advantage of the free CF card offers with the 350D or the 30D should be registered with CiG.
 
Hmmm - I'm registered and have used to share photos with family and friends. Canon didn't see fit to email me though :( Feeling very left-out:thinking:
