How well does the A99 work for sports photography

I wouldn't trust what any review says about any aspect of a camera. You need to get your hands on one and give it a thorough workout in ​​your​ shooting conditions.

I eventually got to test an A99 today, using it with some wakeboarders. Anyone that thinks those guys are slow and predictable needs to think again. Anyway, I was pleased/surprised with the results. Only the first few shots were off - didn't take long to get used to the EVF and pretty much nailed every shot afterwards. Didn't use burst, because that's not really my thing - but depending on weather I'm set to have another go tomorrow (with my own card) so may try burst just to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm not in any way claiming that the A99 is a 'sports' camera, but it looks as though it would do the job for me. As I say, only you can decide whether it works for you.
