Hey Don, wish I could have joined you but it's a bit far from Switzerland Luckily I managed to catch it at IMAX Irvine, OC.

Canon FTL. I'll never buy another one of their camera's. This seals it. Peace.

It’s 19th October – and I’m still seeing the “WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR DOWNLOAD CAPACITY” on Canon’s page, LOL.

Unbelievable. It almost seems that Canon hates good publicity.

Huh. Here’s the message on Canon’s page that you linked to as hosting the video:

DUE TO HIGH DEMAND OF VIDEO CLIPS WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR DOWNLOAD CAPACITY.
WE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING ALTERNATIVE HOSTING METHODS.

Can the situation get any sillier?

Something similar happened with the Canon Rumors website (www.canonrumors.com). He got a cease-and-desist letter threatening legal action if he continued using “canon” in the webpages and domain name (!). After several weeks (and a lot of bad publicity for Canon), it got sorted out.

I’ll second the other complaints about Canon: they come across as incredibly tone-deaf. You can’t buy positive stories like this and large companies are routinely ridiculed for failed attempts to fake it — suddenly a brilliant PR story drops in their lap and the first instinct is to strangle it. The only real way to salvage it would be fore someone at Canon to announce that the manager in question was no longer employed by them and, unfortunately, it’s probably someone high enough up the food chain to ensure that doesn’t happen.

(The comparisons with the way Apple’s App Store policies are rapidly burning away most of the iPhone’s good will are quite apt; I just hope someone quickly realizes just how bad this mistake was.)
