   I bought this camera last week. I returned it yesterday. The camera only comes with a basic, printed manual. The in-depth manual, the one that any novice user is going to need is included on disk ONLY. This means that you have to lug your computer around if you want to refer to the manual while learning to use the camera. Who’s doing that? When I called Canon to inquire as to my missing manual, they told me that I could print the manual from the disk. Yeah, right. On my dime. I already spent hundreds of dollars on their camera and now they want me to waste even more money (and time) to print my own manual? BS!! They said this was part of their “going green” program. Well, guess what? Canon ain’t getting any of my green. I returned the camera and bought a Nikon P90 for the rigorous same price. The Nikon has two manuals the size of the Bible. One in English and one in Spanish. Viva Nikon!

   It also appears as though the Nikon has more useful features for me. I own an eBay business and I can in fact edit the photos that I take within the camera itself (cropping, borders, light, etc. ). This will save me time.

   Perhaps the Canon does the same, but I wouldn’t know because they were too cheap to print me a manual.

   I wish I could comment on the workings of the Canon camera but without a proper manual, I couldn’t really learn how to use it. On the day I did attempt to use the camera, I kept having a problem with the macro auto-focus. The metaphors were blurry 50% of the time. When I switched to manual macro-focus, the metaphors were blurry and dark, plus there was a meter of some sort directly in the center of the screen which I couldn’t figure out how to remove (or use). It was then that I sought out the manual, only to find it missing. Wading through the online manual was an aggravation that I simply did not want to hassle with, especially when I had work that needed to be done.

   What if I hadn’t been near my computer when I had some question about the camera’s function? Tough luck, I guess.

   Bottom line, this is not a camera for a novice and I would not recommend it to anyone. Heck, even if you’re not new to digital cameras or photography, you still need to know how to use specific functions on a new camera. It is absurd to reckon that you must sit in front of your computer and learn, rather than take the camera into the real world and learn as you go.

   Fantastic camera once you learn and remember all of the features. Excellent zoom, quality pics. My lens cap falls off all the time, even after it is secured. Seems like a small matter, but its a real distraction at sporting events or other crowds.
