2) Startup can be sluggish.

Then just increase the time unti the camera goes to sleep.

This is not a solution - the dpr review of the A99 page 10 states that the startup time is the same whether you turn the camera on or wake it from sleep - this is one of the more worrying A99 negatives in my opinion.

Do you expect just to grab your camera and point at some action and then get great shots?

This instantly-ready-for-action-shooting thinking has very little with reality to do.

You have to be well prepared when shooting fast action!

This is your shooting style - might not be mine, might not be the OP's. No one's here to judge, we're here to answer the OP's concerns. And the solution you proposed is not a solution since the startup is annoyingly slow, whether from scratch or from sleep.
