Hi Jessica,

I agree with you that the Canon camera manuals are very good. But I have
one problem with the advanced manual:

In Germany this manual is only available on the CD as a pdf file. So I
can't carry it with me at all (at least without printing it out). I only
have the basic manual in printed form.

My family has several Canon cameras, and I think the manuals are
excellent....EXCEPT that the basic content is not in the advanced
manual, so you have to carry both manuals if you expect to need both
levels of information. To my mind, this is a flaw. Not that all the
content should be repeated in the advanced manual, but a couple of basic
summary charts listing what button does what should be there.
