Hi, I recently bought a Nikon S9100 and it brought a small paper starting guide, but the real manual came as a PDF 200-page document in a CD, so I printed it both sides at home and now I have a very complete and well designed manual which I'm reading slowly chapter by chapter in order to take most advantage of this camera. I owned a Sony Cybershot P-73 for 7 years and now I have a lot of new functions to learn (face detection, focus moving subjects, 18X optical zoom, stabilizing image, and so on). Regarding the functions, this camera is in the midway between a small P&S; cameras and it's worth to carefully read the manual and practice, practice and practice a lot!!

I put the manual on a CD and took it to the local Staples copy center and had it printed and spiral bound. Cost was about $15 plus tax. Kinkos or another copy center could do the same thing. I wanted a paper manual to have with me and the camera. After I learn the features, it might get lost in a drawer, but for now was well worth the cost.

I just bought a ZS7 and there is a basic printed instruction manual to get you started, but the total operating manual is on a CD that comes with the camera. It's a 90 page (8-1/2 x 11) single side print job for your printer. The sheet is divided in half so it would be a 180 page 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 size book printed on one side, or 90 pages printed on both sides. I wish Panasonic or an after-market printer offered this manual because there are plenty of us out there who like to have their manuals handy when there are things we want to do with this camera that we're not quite sure of.

The new zs7's ship with firmware 1.0. The new version that is out for the zs7 as of June is version 1.1. So far no one knows if they work with that verson.

Hi,As far as I know they never set the Zi12 in full production. This listing is legit however, the product exists, so someone probably got hold of the few(?) ones that were actually made. If you buy it (like I did) there will be no support from Kodak or firmware updates etc. The camera in itself is wonderful and works perfectly though!

Yes there's a manual but I wouldn't buy this camera again. It's very slow! In fact I intend to sell my "used one time" camera when I return to states.

It does not, but I've made a downloadable PDF version at http://tinyurl.com/ZS5manual which you can print out if you want. Interestingly, the box says it comes with it, but mine was sealed when I got it and there was no manual.

I received the ZS7 (red) this week from Amazon. The box says: Box contains: Digital Camera Unit Battery Pack Battery Case Battery Charger AV Cable USB Connection Cable CD-ROM Hand Strap Operating Instructions The "battery case" is just a bit of plastic and I almost threw it out--I'm not sure what the purpose is. I think it's just to add another line item on the box. ;o) Some people have mistakenly said that this includes an HDMI cable--it does not. You will need to purchase a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. I haven't purchased one yet for this camera, so I cannot attest to the video quality with an off-market brand, but I will certainly try one (I've had good luck with Mediabridge cables, limited lifetime warranty) before shelling out the extra cash for the Panasonic cable. I hope this helps. It's a basic kit, but it is nice that they included a hand strap. I bought an Xacti CG10 and it didn't include one. It's not a big deal, but it seems to be one of those items you can't find right away when you need it. When I get a new "toy" I want to play with it right away and I'm such a klutz, I have to have some type of hand strap for protection! Good luck!

Mine came with a manual. But you might not get one, I'm not %100 on that though.

I bought mine in September 2013 in Europe. There was no printed manual included, only documentation on a CD. The electronic the manual listed all pieces included in the box, and the printed manual was not in there. Not sure, if this is due to product "localisation", or just because the latest shipements do not include the printed manuals anymore. Anyway, even without the printed manual, I am happy. But, this camera is not for everyone, for sure.

In addition to several other professional reviews available online in favor of the Panasonic ZS3/TZ7, one of the most reputable online sources for photography (i.e., The Luminous Landscape) has published its findings on April 28, 2009, comparing Panasonics ZS3, Canon SX200, and Fuji F200EXR, and I found it very informative:http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/pocket.shtml

I got an owners manual with mine. I also bought one for my son and he received an owners manual with his.

The TZ40 I purchased here was apparently sent from Japan, and the menu was only in Japanese. I sent it back, since I do not read Japanese. The same camera model is called ZS30 in North America, and I assume it will have a menu in English - and possibly other languages. It did not explain anywhere - and I have not seen it mentioned in any reviews - that the model named TZ40 has only a Japanese menu, but that certainly was the case with the camera I received. I would be leary of ordering this camera for that reason.

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix

Thank you for your help and relay of information. I have purchased the ZS3 and absolutely love it! It just came, so am eager to spend some 'quality' time with it.

I'm sure if you go to the Nikon website, you can download a PDF file of the booklet. Didn't you get one with your camera? I believe I did. Mine was sent in for repairs, so I don't have the box right now, but I'm quite sure I got a book with my purchase.

Mine came with a manual but you can do a google search and a PDF file will come up that you can print out.
