G15 manual

I finally bit the bullet, not knowing whether to buy a G15 at Best Buy for $380 (Boxing Week special) or a slightly used (8+ condition) G12 for $315 or a used G1X (8+) for $550, both at Henry's. I was leaning towards the used G12, because of the articulated screen as I have the 60D with the articulated screen and I like it. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much on the G1X, even at that good price. But I found an open box, new G15 at Best Buy for $350. None of the packages inside the box had been opened. Good sign. So I bought the G15 last week. Next week, prices were going back up to $450, from $380.

I loaded the G15 manual on to my computer and then copied it over to my Blackberry PlayBook. I thought it was a good idea, because my PlayBook is always with me, usually in my back pocket or in my 60D camera bag. It is very easy to read from my PlayBook and should work well with anyone else's iPad, iPhone or Android tablet or phone.

I initially thought downloading the manual to the computer was a little cheap on Canon's part as I like having the actual book with me, but now I think it is a great idea on Canon's part.

Now, I need to get out and use my new camera.
