    Canon to watermark photos as they are taken, with a scan of your iris...

    Good idea if your photos are worth robbing, what I find very funny is people who shoot rubbish and post it online with watermarks and your left wondering who would rob it ;)

    You register your iris with the camera before you start shooting . It then adds the biometric watermark to any subsequent photos you take.

    Ah, I see... (Geddit, cos it's an Iris thing :D ...no? Awwww :( )

    The problem with coding the math analasys of the iris, is it can be cracked... sure, it'll take time and a lot of effort, so probably wont happen. But like always, as soon as this technology is released, some way or another, the source will find the internet, and someone will work on a way of cracking the code. A very good mathematician would probably work it out in no time at all...

    Sounds alright if your not a pro-photographer but what happens if you want to enter your photo in any competitions, will there be a way of removing the said watermark.

    "The system works by scanning the iris as the eye is put to the viewfinder when the shot is composed"
