Re: Nikon cameras?

The D3200 takes much better pictures, BUT the A900 is light enough for 
my drone to carry it and it has that incredible 35x zoom (no digital 
zoom for me, thanks.)  I'm thinking of rigging up some rube goldberg 
mechanism to mechanically control the A900 via an RPi.  Dang it.

Thanks,

David
