I used to travel to abroad, take a bunch of snapshots while walking with my wife and then dump favorite images to my phone so it would automatically upload them to the google photos. Raw's would be dealt with after I come back home but in the meantime, I can share these photos with my wife, friends, etc while we take a break.
Image.canon couldn't help to ease this process. 1) Camera needs to be a wifi source - this is dumb. The phone would drop the wifi if it doesn't provide internet. 2) UI/UX in cameras was made for the people who want to have joystick, comfortable grip, pinky huinky... Mobile app for these guys (ALL THE REVIEWERS) is not the priority. 3) camera can't save your credentials for image.canon. If you turn it off, the settings are gone. There is no way to store them on sdcard or the phone. 4) No integration with existing major clouds. So you would need to buy a storage from canon. Maybe it would be better if they would just use apple, google or amazon api for the storage? 5) Your camera needs to be turned on while it tries to upload a 40mb raw. The phone on the other hand can upload photos effortlessly, staying in the pocket. You don't need to do anything.
