Purchased this camera recently. I really wanted to like this camera but it's flaws and less than spectacular performance prevented that. I was looking for a light weight substitute for my Nikon D 700 with an 18 - 300 mm lence. The A900 has an admirable zoom range in a well fitted fit in your pocket package. Great so far. I knew I was giving up a viewfinder but didn't know how much I would miss it. Holding a camera away from your body at high zoom results in camera shake that the V system can't overcome. The camera doesn't auto focus properly and many shots are ruined. Low light performance is miserable. You can't directly input ISO speed. The real deal breaker is you can't shoot raw. So over all disappointed with the product.
