The high-res panel is sharp, crisp and touch sensitive. The AC90’s LCD panel slides out from a crosspiece at the front of the handle then rotates vertically up to 270 degrees for high and low angle, or self, shooting. Most LCD panels fold up flat against the side of the camcorder, covering frequently used buttons. The placement of the LCD represents an interesting design change to this otherwise familiar format. Exposure assist features include a Zebra button on the control panel with two zebra settings and a marker function.

The AC90 however has some of the cleanest gain we have seen, with increases to 20dB being relatively noise free and very usable. The tradeoff here is that as gain is added, noise increases. Continue to rotate the iris ring beyond fully open and gain is applied in 1dB increments up to a maximum of 30dB. At settings wider than f2.8 neutral density filtering is automatically applied in increasing degrees. It begins to open at f11 and continues to open wider until it reaches f1.5 – fully open. At one end of the exposure spectrum, the iris is fully closed. These tasks are instead integrated into the iris ring. There are no neutral density or video gain switches or dials on this camera. Older eyes will find this a very welcome feature.

Two buttons on the control panel affect your focusing options: Focus A/M switches between auto and manual focus, while Focus Assist outlines the areas in focus with red (the only color choice). The focus ring allows you to achieve manual focus while Push AF (assigned to a User button) lets you switch temporarily to auto for a quick assist from the camera. The rocker switches are right-now responsive, while the zoom ring is much smoother, allowing you to ease in and out and vary the speed of your zoom. Optical zoom is a respectable 12x and controlling it the middle of the three rings on the lens barrel or one of the two zoom rocker switches – one at the top of the handle and the other atop the hand grip on the right side – each near its own thumb-accessible record button. The fast lens (f1.5 fully open) allows loads of light to hit the sensor, always a good thing – particularly in low light situations.
Though not an interchangeable lens camera, the lens it comes with is quite capable.
