David, London Professional photographer

Score 10.0/10
Good points:
Intuitive control layout, solid build, my 2nd 900 and I would buy a third in a heartbeat.
Bad points:
Need's faster AF, I use primarily for motorsports and find the focusing lacking in speed compared to the opposition, more FF lenses needed to get anywhere near C*N*N

Andrew, Chletenham Experienced amateur

Score 9.0/10
Good points:
impressive detail with full frame sensor.
many useful features and customizable
Bad points:
I had some trouble getting the colour settings to produce a natural look when outdoors in bright sunlight and shade.
The contrast between sun and shade was harsh and had to be adjusted, but that maybe because i am not yet fully familiar with the controls.
