Websites for current camera manuals
 

For consumer cameras: http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/support/dvimag/minidv/MiniDV%20Query_1.html

For DVCam cameras and decks: http://www.sony.ca/dvcam/manuals.htm

These are all in PDF format and look pretty much like the original paper manual you received with your camera. The consumer camera choices include other languages than English.
