Canon will support Microsoft's new Media Transfer Protocol in its future digital camera products, a major win for Microsoft as it tries to win industry support for its new synchronization protocol. Media Transfer Protocol, or MTP, promises to make transferring data from portable devices to Windows-based PCs simpler and faster. The protocol builds on the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard, which was established by the International Imaging Industry Association. Microsoft has supported PTP since the release of Windows Millennium Edition in 2000.
