He breaks down his report well, and gives a lot of concise and to the point information, with out too much fluff or personal bias. Modes and features of the SB-900: Great new interface, buttons and controls with the larger LCD displaying more vital information and the overall user experience on the menu side revamped to be easier and more effective; although it will take some time to get used to and at first is confusing and perhaps frustrating to old SB 800 faithful.
