I am having the SAME problem ... I did all this research and determined that the 880IS was the camera for me. And I saw a number of posts indicating that people were paying around two fifty for it. And now ... I cannot find it ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know if it is discontinued or replaced by a newer model?

Try B&H; Photo Video Pro Audio. 212-465 0171 / 877-849-7260. They were really helpful after I did a lot of research online and narrowed down my needs. Live Chat option too, so have all the techie stuff to hand to save time. I thought I was going to have to buy a new camera but at $300 the lens was just super. Brand new out of the box. I'm an artist and need great shots for uploading and reference.

Yes, the place i ordered the manual is: ManualsInk.com. I ordered the Manual paper version, but I thinks you can get it for download. I recommend the paper version as it may be much easier to referrance. It comes spirial bound and a reasonable cardboard cover. I do not have a phone #. It cost me $ 17.41 and that included shipping. It may be a bit more. I have found it to be very helpful. Their address is PO Box 14486 Archdale, N.C 27263. Good luck and enjoy this wonderful camera

Hi,I believe you can download the manual on the Olympus website. It'll be a PDF file and you can print it out. It's a good camera and worth the money. I hope this helps you, good luck!

How easy is this camera to use for a novice? I bought my husband a smaller pocket sized camera and it is very difficult to get it to focus on what YOU want it to focus on. It is always trying to be smart. I need a camera that I can set up some default settings and he can just point at shoot at moving grand children.

There are no written instructions with it.I called Leica USA and told them the instructional cd would not play and they said they would send me a new one.That was a month ago and I have heard or received nothing.One of the retailers on there locator emailed me the manual and I have figured out some of the functions myself.But the parent company has pretty lousy service.The girl on the phone new absolutely nothing. hunter4473@att.net

My purchase did not come with a manual. You can download one off the internet for it. Sorry, wish i could help. Takes quality pictures and i do not have any problems with the wildlife being spooked by the camera like some imply.

there is a little booklet that comes with it, but I also looked on the internet for info. I have to tell you tho the longer I own this camera the better I like it, especially for the simplicity of the camera and the sharpness of the pictures I print out. Thanks Jeff Richardson.

Hi Mr. Hewitt (I wonder if we have any relation?) Anyway, for a true beginner (as in you've never used anything but a point-and-shoot) I'd recommend you get a Nikon D40 and an 18-200 VR. Keep the 18-55 kit lens, you'll find it lighter when your just taking snapshots of the family or whatever. The D40 is an excellent starter camera, it has almost all the tweaks of this much more expensive camera without the weight and cost. The D300 has many advantages over it, but I really feel you'll learn a lot faster with a simpler camera, and step up to this when your ready. I actually started out with a D40 a bit over a year ago, it made starting out quite fun. The 18-200VR will follow you as a great lens on the D300 too, and you can use any newer AF-S lenses on it. If you have older AF-D Nikon lenses lying around that you want to use, a D80 is also a good place to start. It's easier to make the custom tweaks you'll learn about in your photography classes on the D80, but it still has Auto modes as well to get you started. Checkout www.kenrockwell.com, especially his recommended camera page. He's a bit more eloquent than I am. And I wouldn't be so fast to recommend the D60 to anyone, it's just the D40x's guts (plus active D-Lighting, but without the other enhancements of the D300/D3) with a different name stamped on it. I wouldn't recommend the D40x or D60 to anyone, they exist to fill a price point to compete with Canon. If your eyeballing either, jump to the D80 and don't look back.

Thank you very much! That was very helpful. I'm excited to try this camera.

Sorry if this comes off as elitist, but the photographers this model is targeted at don't need one. The user manuals are usually pretty terrible anyway. There is onscreen help, and there is google.

There should be a manual in very small print in the case with it. I also have a quickstart guide I wrote for it which covers more features than the actual manual does. Anyone can email me and ask for it. If you bought it from online-enterprises I will also email it to you after each sale. Also there is a video demo that shows rather than tells how to use it here.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac1CfTyaCps -Nick at online-enterprises If you have any more questions you can email me directly here in Amazon.

Once again, THANK YOU Technology Guy for taking the time to answer my questions in such a thorough and informative manner. I really appreciate it. I'm sure I'll enjoy the Rebel Kit as my introductory into digital SLRs, and I'll be sure to stop by the photography forum as you suggested. Thanks again.
