Weight and firmness of swtiches

none so far

Although slightly heavier than my previous Nikon, the S9900 is proving to be a good purchase. However, I miss the "museum" option and Nikon has not provided a substitute feature. Haven't had it long enough to comment any further.

The camera arrived in its own box but was place in a much larger shipping container with no packing; which meant that the product rattled around in transit
