When scrolling through images in one of the thumbnail views images 'scroll on' from the bottom right or top left corner (depending on the direction). It may also have been useful if there were a way to scroll through a page of four or nine images at a time. There is no function for magnifying an image, a contact at Canon told me that they didn't see this as a feature professionals would require. I personally would like to have seen this feature and feel that it's an important omission.
