I was in SLC over the weekend visiting family. Years ago I did business with Pictureline, a camera store up there. They were so nice, and I've always wanted to visit them. We went. It's a beautiful store, with lots of floor help and just about everything one would ever want IN STOCK! i asked about the R3 because I wanted to just hold it and look at it. I bought it! I had to go back because I found out it requires a different card than what I had. I'm still figuring it out. One downside: I was excited to see there was a book in the box. However, it's nothing but Canon disclaimers about how they aren't responsible if one does stuff wrong. So I have to download the instruction book, which I hate because they aren't convenient to put in a camera bag. But so far, I love it! The eye-controlled focus works! And the eye-finder works. I pointed it at a bird across the street, and the focus point went directly to its eye! Maybe I won't get any more black blobs!

Oh, and BTW, it was on sale, and I got some other stuff discounted as well. These guys are great!

I know what you mean about the new "manual" is hard to fit into the camera bag. But look at the bright side, you can now find a "manual" for just about anything there is. I remember years ago when buying a computer you got 3 boxes, one for the monitor, one for the rest of the computer, and one box for all the manuals!

Put the PDF manual on your phone.

Those guys are great…..but you're a great customer….. So again, congratulation on your new system.

If you have a smartphone you can most likely get a manual online and save a link on your phone. That way you don't have to carry paper around. And it will probably be a PDF, which is searchable so the index will be included.

I've already shot some. But I have to figure out how to process them! Thanks.

I'm going to try to find one I can buy. Surely it's available. I watched 2 videos this morning.

Thanks! Now if I can just learn to use it!

I downloaded the PDF to my computer. Never thought about putting it on my phone. Thanks
