    I just got a Canon 500D, and I'm looking to get the instruction manual in English!

    If anyone has one they dont use, I'd love to even borrow it for a while. Or if anyone has it in English but wants it in French/Dutch/German/Italian, I'll do a swop!

    Thanks, but I'm looking for a physical copy. I hate trying to read manuals off the computer, dont want to waste paper printing it out myself or buy one as I know someone out there has a copy they dont use. And I actually like holding a book!

    (Probably why I put everyone elses flat-packs together...)

    chances are, anyone who has a 500d uses the manual.
    Just print it off. Duplex. Saving the trees and all that.

    Nothing like going to bed with a glass of wine, and the latest instruction manual for your latest gadget...

    You'd pick one up cheap on ebay. Can't imagine anyone who's shelled out for the 500D being prepared to hand over their manual for nothing...

    WTF? I'm trying to relate the 2 together.

    I had this problem with my 400d, printed off the manual in work. Instead of the dinky wee manual I had to suffice with the waste of paper and ink that meant every page was A4.

    I did suggest borrow or swop!! You never know, maybe someone bought one and it had the English version, but not the Italian they'd prefer....

    I am always the one to get the video/camera/computer going, always put the flatpack furniture, the childs bikes, etc etc, together for family and friends because no-one I know, reads the blurb that comes with it. And since it usually comes in lots of different languages these days it tends to be in book or booklet form rather than a simple piece of paper.
