I just bought an Olympus E-M1. Nice! A week later I get an offer from Olympus, they will sell me a DVD "How to Master Your E-M1" for $20. I buy a $1200 + camera and I have to pay extra for decent instructions? I don't THINK so!
I could of used a manual when I got married the first time.
$20 isn't a large amount of money.
True, and to a camera company it's even less. So why not include it with the camera. It could be furnished upon the customer's request, with S&H paid by the customer.Peter
Just keep in mind, nothing is free.
It amazes me how little some people value information that it took time and effort for others to prepare.
Next you will complain that they didn't include a lens hood.
A womanual might have been better.
Well, they didn't. But it is a camera body, not a lens, so why would they include a hood?
