I have been happy with www.manualsink.com for third party providers offering spiral bound manuals in various sizes. Great in the field.

Thanks - did find them, but they don't have the handy 3x5 size. Not a big deal, I guess. I printed out the .pdf file and placed it in an 8x10 notebook for reference.

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S;, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

I finally bought this camera. I purchased 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" maual from manualsink.com for $14 plus $2.99 S & H(actual postage $2.38)I ordered it on Dec 1(Wed) and receive it today Dec 3(Fri) It may have helped that I live in the same state(NC) It is nice to be ableto flip from 1 section to another! They also include a link that let's you view manual online until your book arrives. That worked OKbut I never looked at CD that came with camera to compare ease of use.

I finally looked at the CD manual and it's easy to use but I like the hard copy better. I called Canon witha technical question(that turned out to be fairly quick and easy) and the guy said he could send me a printed manual. I just assumed without cost. Might be worth checking out before buying a manual on-line.Very happy with tech support!

Hardly any these days. It's a great opportunity for third-party folks to fill that gap.

I too want a sm user manuel. I contacted CAnon and filed my displeasure with this CD product.. at end of converstation she offered to send me a PRINTED MANUAL.. not the minature one that I wanted but it was shipped today... I also asked her to submit my complaint to product development and customer service... with one big statement YOU CANNOT TAKE A CD INTO THE FIELD.... a user manual esp with the superzoom/ hi end point and shoot should be standard.. but they won't offer you don't complain to the Company directly.

Yes, all of these suggestions sound good. I miss the little bound 3x5 handbook they supplied. It fit well in a jeans back pocket when hiking. It is not a deal breaker, but just a handy reference.

Thanks for posting. I actually did take them up on their offer, but they merely printed out the .pdf file on 8x10 paper - something I had already done. I prefer the little 3x5" bound pocket-size version they used to include. I did purchase a 5x7 spiral manual from a third party on line, but still it's not the same. Oh well, it's still a great camera and I suppose this is a minor complaint. I just wish they gave you the option of purchasing this smaller version of the manual. Interestingly, there WAS a 3x5 bound manual printed in Spanish, but none provided in English. Unfortunately for me, I am not bilingual. Thanks again Thanks for posting.

This is one of the many reasons I just don't like canon. Nikon always supplies a written user manual.

has this been added to the SX200IS now? I was looking at side by side comparison to the ZS3 and it showed RAW support for the Canon...
1515358
I am having the SAME problem ... I did all this research and determined that the 880IS was the camera for me. And I saw a number of posts indicating that people were paying around two fifty for it. And now ... I cannot find it ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know if it is discontinued or replaced by a newer model?

Canon has in the camera software the ability to shoot RAW, but it is disabled. They use one chip for MANY cameras. .... enabling this or that depending on model. There is a "work-around" with CHDK that will allow you to shoot RAW and .jpg at the same time ... remember... .jpg starts out as a RAW image, then is compressed. Amazon.com has in its reviews of the SX40 everything you need to know ..... from start to finish will take you about a half day of reading, downloading, and testing .... but a cookbook operation.

Well, I downloaded a new driver, and that solved the 6c10 error message -- for a week or so. And now it's back again. And now my older Canon pixma 3000 has a similar error message. So I have two Canon printers taking up space. Does anyone make a decent, reliable printer? Canon has been absolutely of no help.

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

You do have to use the Canon app to print. I had it connected to android and that part of it worked quite well, except that the printer itself was garbage and never actually made a print.

Agree 100%. A compact paper manual like the one that came with my SD410 would have been great. I would think that Canon would correct this by making one available after the fact. Printing out the 180 pages isn't the only problem. Carrying letter size pages while on travel is another pain.

Well, it's just the size of the sensor troubles me. What kind of picture is this going to take at even a 400 ISO? Nevermind 800 or higher.I just wonder if it's worth getting a camera this big when the sx200IS can be had for almost half the price, it's way easier to carry, and when you add the chdk firmware, will be almost as functional.I suppose if this were to be your only camera, but personally, I'd like to see what they do with the Rebel, either later this year or next. Or if I have a "rich uncle die", buy the 5D Mark II ;-)

When I bought this there was no manual, only a pointer to a manual on their website. The manual on the website was not available and Canon support said there were no plans to provide one...

I bought the previously mentioned disc tray on eBay and followed the on-line instructions for making the printer ready to print discs - removing a small plastic cover, reprogramming the printer ROM so the printer thinks it is European (accomplished by pushing various buttons in sequence), reinstalling the print drivers, and downloading a CD print program for the Canon Europe website. I had no issues, and it does print beautifully, but you need to have inkjet printable discs. There are different trays for different printer models. The iP4500 uses "Tray F." The tray acts as a caddie to hold the CD/DVD while it is being printed.

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

Beverly, the manual is not adequate for this novice but it IS better than other camera manuals I've had. It comes with a CD manual which I printed. For me, no manual (for any product) has enough troubleshooting and this one not is no different. However, I'd buy the camera again.

Good day, I have a Canon SX50 Powershot and it works great with this card. I realize it's not quite the same, but probably a good indicator. Furthermore, Cannon's manual for the SX400 IS says, "The following memory cards (sold separately) can be used, regardless of capacity: SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, SDXC memory cards". It does have a disclaimer that not all cards are tested or verified, but it does suggest that compliant SDHC cards (like this one) should typically work fine. SOURCE (see page three): http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300015698/01/pssx400is-cusp-en.pdfI hope that eases your mind! Good day, I have a Canon SX50 Powershot and it works great with this card.

Canon PowersShot SX1 IS cameras come with a bunch of manuals and guides. Here is a URL for a source that has all of the various manuals/guides: http://www.manualslib.com/products/Canon-Powershot-Sx1-Is-1778561.html - I think that they are downloadable PDFs.Additionally, simply go to Google, type in the box - Canon PowerShot SX1 IS manual - and you'll get a lot of sources where you can download PDFs.

I got my PDF from Canon.... it's a digital copy of the original manual... Very complete and exceptionally helpful.

I wish I knew. I asked this of Fujifilm and got no reply in a month. I should have contacted the seller and demand to know before I bought (but didn't think of it). The printed manual is all in Japanese, but the camera menus are in English and the English manual is online. The camera is great, so far, producing fabulous shots with all the control I needed. Don't like having to remove the battery to recharge, fear something might break, but so far OK. Yes it ships immediately, but doesn't arrive for >week since it ships from Japan. Seems like these details should be required by Amazon before listing. I wish I knew. I asked this of Fujifilm and got no reply in a month.
