A few things exist that made me take it back and get another camera
Continuous shooting. is extremely sluggish. Almost too slow. They claim it's 2.5 per second
continuous shooting, although it feels more like perhaps 1.5 per second. Not a big deal in itself, but my heightened
enthusiasm expected it to be be faster. It took me by such surprise that I'm still not over it.

Camera Accessories
I saw a few accessories, although none where too clear about the camera models they fit. Additionally two basic types of accessories were available, costly and bottom rung. Other brands feature a full array and are plainly specific to models. Case in point: find a battery grip that fits the a390 camera and you'll quickly see what I'm talking about.
