Optical Built-in Viewfinder Using a viewfinder during a street photography shoot allows the photographer to stabilize the camera and reduce the camera shake since it is closer to the body. Besides, it comes handy where LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight.
Image Stabilization Image stabilization reduces the effects of camera shake at long exposures and long focal lengths in street photography thus ensuring sharper photos.
Large Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm) sensor Large sensor in Sony A900 ensures a good low light image quality compared to smaller sensor, and it also provide shallow depth of field and a nice blurry background when needed.
No Live-view Live view lets you take photos without using the viewfinder which makes you less obstrusive and this works very well during street photography where you don't want to get people's attention.
Large Body An articulated screen gives you the flexibility to shoot in non traditional positions such as waist level, which helps you to be more creative and unobtrusive in the streets.
