Canon UK outsources their manual replacement service to Robert Scott's EOS-magazine: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/User_Manuals/ http://www.eos-magazine.com/Sales_inst.html
That last page states that they sell TEN THOUSAND manuals per year in the UK. There is demand for these manuals, which are traded/sold by used equipment dealers and on online auction sites. The only legal way to distribute EOS instructions online is for the publisher to serve up the documents. Canon does this for their digital cameras and some of their film cameras. The other way is to write up your own notes. That's what the EOS documentation project is about: http://eosdoc.com/ Now you know where to find really *good* documentation on the intricacies of the EOS system. Stuff like: . Fixing the EOS 5 and EOS 100 command dial . Disabling a broken LCD backlight on a EOS 600 . Flash NEVEC . Almost-Trap focus . Using remote release and AEB/MLU/Bulb . Using a piece of film to force an E-TTL EX Speedlite into TTL And lots more.
