Still, I'm cautiously optimistic that it's a keeper. There are a few things that bother me, but I'm hoping to be able to work around them.On the plus side; the zoom range is simply spectacular and autofocus is fast and accurate. The camera's big, but it's comfortable in the hand, not unwieldy. IQ seems good but conditions here have been pretty poor, so I'm withholding judgement there.On the negative side; other than AF, performance is slow. Zooming is slow, snap-back is slow and buffering is slow. When using HS burst, buffering time seems to be about a second per shot. So if you take 3 shots you wait 3 seconds, 5 shots 5 seconds, etc. This is a lot faster than the P600, but still annoying when the bird you're shooting is cooperating, but you're waiting on the camera. Unfortunately, tomorrow looks to be another gloomy day, but I'll take and post some pics as soon as I can.</blockquote>
