I am extremely upset that a printed manual was not included with my EOS R7.

The R7 is my third Canon camera.  I am seriously thinking of returning it as it requires re-learning the dials etc that one should be able to quickly manuver while shooting.  They are not intuitive. With my older cameras, I was able to sit with the manual and camera and go through it step by step. You could put it down for awhile and pick it up again with ease. Now we are expected to sit at a computer to read through pages. That can't be done in the comfort of my living room.  Don't even talk about using a phone with the print so small you can barely see it. I also packed the manual with me when travelling to review features that I don't usually use during my normal shooting but may want to try.

Am I the only one disappointed with the idea that a corporation that charges enormous amounts for it's cameras can't afford to print a manual for those who would want one?

For the record, I prefer to have the manuals in a folder in my local Network and access them in my iPad where I can read them as a normal manual with the possibility of a quick search something that no printed manual can do. Printed manual are a useless thing from the past that kills trees.

I have a T7 and the manual is over 300 pages. I have a printed copy but find it faster to access the information on my laptop. Also have it on my phone but text is small. Years ago, I had a printer which had a CD included as the paper manual would be about 500 pages.
