On my brand new SX70, I was grateful to find the Sports mode choice on the dial, as that is much easier to access than the Continuous mode in the menus. I have since discovered the quick set menu, which provides slightly better access to Continuous. ...

Thank you, ebiggs -- Are there buyer's guides available here for the gear you recommend? Or even just links to spec sheets and the like?
