........getting my new mirrorless camera with a 788 page owners/users reference manual! Traded in a FX body, a DX body and six prime lenses and four zooms. Got great prices for my trades and then went ahead and bought a mirrorless FX body and three lenses. Happy with the first test shots from this new tech but I see a lot of reading, viewing Youtube and practice (thanks for the delete function) to learn how to use this camera. My wife is a part time shutter bug and she did keep her DSLR and a few lenses so now it's up to me to keep focused on the new learning curve and not fall back on old habits (Honey, can I use you camera today?).
Wishing all my fellow hoggers to stay safe and well. Best, chase

Well you don't need to worry about nothing to do for a while. Unless you are a speed reader.
Enjoy!
PS? I live in Corona, CA I know where Corona del Mar is but where the devil is "Punta Corona"? Or is it a local/neighborhood name and not a city?

You get your money worth. By the way I don't think it's a Sony.

800 pages ??? That ships as the OEM documentation ? Most 3rd party books are only half that size ! Most OEM user manuals are 20 pages of paper “quick start” info and about 400 pages of pdf for download. 800 pages ?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Smart move not naming the brand :-)

OK, so I'm an old guy with limited cerebral skills and poor vision but the quick start "User's Manual" was only 170 pages of small print and most likely written by someone that learned English as a second language. I went to the manufacture's website and download the 788 page "Reference Manual". I can't and won't try to read that much stuff on the computer screen, so having a rare sudden attack of common sense, I order a spiral bound large print copy of the "Reference Manual" from OTC in the UK for $32.26 USD and now I'm good to go. chase

Since you're the one playing Dick Tracy, figure out which one has a 788 page "Reference Manual". chase

The Z5 reference manual goes up to page 744. But there are 40 some page before you get to page one.
The 6 & 7 II's are over 800 and all other Z's are quite a bit less.
So it's an Olympus.

Nikon Z5 I searched Nikon mirrorless manuals and the Z5 was the first I hit with 788 pages.
Z6 II and Z7 II are 882 pages.
