Wrong, bucko... I care about manuals. If I don't get a manual from the camera builder, I find someone who wants to make a buck and I buy HIS manual! All the same by me... I do the same for everything I own. I've bought more manuals than I ever thought I'd ever do, but these days the folks who make the equipment think everyone's capable of being as intuitive as the designers were, and "who needs a manual." I don't have the time nor the inclination to fend for myself, and learn everything from scratch... That's a fool's game. So, I end up paying for a manual, no matter WHO makes it, and so yes, I care, and I'd say a whole lot of others care too, or there wouldn't be such a market for aftermarket manual sellers! Wake up!
