Very sharp image. Smooth variable zoom speed.  Excellent image stabilization.  Dual cards can function as backup or relay. Focus peaking in red. XLR with phantom power.  Clean gain. This camera competes with others costing much more.

 Lots to like about this little lightweight camera.  My only complaints are it has a great integrated Neutral density but it isn't strong enough for bright outdoors so you either have to up the shutter or add an external ND in order to keep the iris where it needs to be for a super sharp image.

 I also wish it had a longer zoom, but 12X is sufficient for most applications.  The izoom is useful as well as the still images which can be taken while recording video.
The AC90A is an underrated winner!
