Ripped off? Not at USCamera.

Are you aware that some less than ideal business people are taking the scans that are available free and selling them to you on the internet? They are.

At USCamera we want satisfied customers.  We don't want anyone to feel burned by paying for something that could be absolutely free.

Some manufacturers currently have free manual downloads on their sites. Links to all we know are listed below.  Only camera and accessories are offered as downloads. Never will service manuals, parts lists or service information be provided to end users at no charge.

Why should I pay? Quality!!!!!  I have purchased many less than ideal photocopies over the years. Most downloads are the same. They appear to be scans of photocopies. The downloads I have checked out are of very limited in quality and accuracy of the scan. Some are barely legible. Pages crooked, edges cut off and  pages missing (the one you need) are common flaws.  You cannot recognize any detail in the pictures when they reference key features. Free downloads are for you If you need just words to understand the operation of your equipment.

We have some samples available of our scans and theirs. Random samples were selected from different brands/makes and models.  We provide identical pages for you to examine so a fair comparison can be made. We showed no favoritism towards any one manufacturer. Check them out. You will know why we have hundreds of satisfied customers.

If other free downloads are available and not listed please let us know and we will add them to our list.
