LaCie and Canon conflict.

LaCie does not support the use of Canon cameras on the same bus as it’s Firewire 800 drives (latest firmware does not address this.) (Apples implementation of USB 2.0 is flakey and unsuitable for video so forget that bus.) As Firewire 800 is often looked to for video capture/editing, and Canon is a leading prosumer camera supplier, dont you think you should include this important piece of information in your release.
