it's a bit switch to move to Canon.

...but at least you get to take all your images with you during the switch without any extra hassle. If I switched brands today, I'd still be able to access all the images I took with the previous brand without owning any special hardware.

If I have an iPod full of music purchased from Apple, how easy is it for me to switch to a non-Apple media player and take all my tracks with me?

I think that's what Dan was getting at -- control of things you have a legal right to.
