Ken - I have started into the K-3 manual Darren posted. It looks exactly like the pdf versions of K10, K20, K5, & K5ii manuals that I have used before. Same layout, same level of detail on descriptions of e.g. menu functions, etc. And the "What is in the box?" page shows that the hardcopy manual is included. One thing that strikes me so far is how much more prominent the video-related functions are. And I had not realized that it has a built-in speaker! Verbal alerts? "Hey dummy, the flash won't work until you turn it on!" I'll read more tomorrow. . .
