Event Camera

Good camera 1” sensor helps in low light, 4k option nice, I don’t like some of how the camera controls are setup. I’d prefer 3 buttons for gain/iris/shutter to toggle auto/manual, exposure compensation can only be changed in the menu and the menu can’t be accessed while recording. The camera blacks out if the aperture is turned past f11 (can you believe that!) Despite all my complaints the price value is hard to beat for this type of camera. While it not comparable to large sensor mirrorless/dslr/cinema cameras it’s what need for filming run and gun event stage work.

This camera is a step up to 4K from my Panasonic AG-AC90

This camera is a step up to 4K from my Panasonic AG-AC90. The layout is very similar to that 2K camera. I like that I can shoot 4K in both 24 and 30fps modes, and record files in MP4. I've only done a few shoots with it, but I had no issues at all. It's beefier than the AC90, and features the same pull out monitor. One really nice feature are the 1/4" AND 3/8" threads in the handle, for mounting a larger monitor, etc.

Got 2 at work. Getting one for me!

Lightweight, sturdy, handy controls, excellent images. I repeat. Excellent. Adapts to Pro tripods, plates, viewfinders and the like, with ease. (Got a couple of good fluid heads, Lilliput viewfinder...etc.) I admire this attention and professional courtesy VERY much. Fine lens, fine zoom, excellent white balance... Heck. All of the adjustment options are stupendous, advanced and effective. Complicated? A bit. Read the manual. It is one of the best you I have seen and will download to your phone. 4K files are AVID-compatible and excellent. Your project will go from shoot to payday in a pleasant and speedy manner. Chips are reasonable and hold a surprising amount. I would give 5-stars, but longevity, reliability and repair is a significant issue for me. Will get back to you Recommend? Yes! (Great bag)

Just got it 2 weeks ago and so far very happy

Just got it 2 weeks ago and so far very happy. Build quality is really good. Took it to a friend who does professional videos for a living and he said it was a great camera for the price range. I researched the heck out of cameras before I settled on this one, I believe this gives the most bang for the buck without going broke. I also researched the heck out of companies to buy from and Adorama had the best deal around. Would I recommend this camera & Adorama... All Ready Have! :)

Best In Class

I needed a smooth zoom to compliment my GH4 's as well as 4k and CineD setting. This camera doesn't disappoint and is a much more practical solution for run and gun than a rigged out GH4. The XLR inputs with phantom power complete the package. Some complain about the eyepiece viewfinder, I have no trouble using it.

GREAT FOR THE PRICE

I wanted a PRO looking ENG type camera. I trade in my sony fd-ax100 4k camera which also had a 1 inch sensor with great video quality, but it look like a consumer camera. Originally I chose the JVC-HM170 for the price ($) and look. let me tell you a HORRIBLE choice, poor video quality, viewfinder horrible..I can go on and on but I`m please with this panasonic UX90 it is equivalent to the sony in video quality. The UX90 has manual controls and plenty of user assignable buttons. Not a perfect Low light camera the results are acceptable, unless you shoot in total darkness. Great camera to add to your tool box of cameras if you are a (DSLR) shooter you can use this camera as a second camera for sports, seminars, etc..

Newly Developed Wide-Angle 24.5 mm and 15x Optical Zoom LEICA DICOMAR Lens

15x Optical Zoom
The 4-Drive Lens System achieves both high image quality/sensitivity and compactness with a wide-angle 24.5 mm and 15x optical zoom lens. This speedy zoom provides quick zooming in and out.

High-Resolution Intelligent Zoom
In FHD mode, the i.Zoom function increases the zooming capability to a maximum of 25x while maintaining high resolution. The i.Zoom function seamlessly switches on when the optical zoom limit is reached.

Digital Zoom (x2/x5/x10)
The Digital Zoom function activates without any drop in light intensity. Combining the optical zoom and i.Zoom enables maximum zooming of 250x.

LEICA DICOMAR Lens
This lens has passed the stringent quality standards of Leica Camera AG. A multi-coating process minimizes ghosts and flaring, resulting in especially clear images.

1.0-Type MOS Sensor for High-Precision, UHD 30p or FHD 60p Recording

High-Image-Quality, High-Sensitivity, 1.0-Type 4K MOS Sensor
The 1.0-type MOS sensor provides an outstanding depth of field and excellent balance between image quality and sensitivity. High-resolution recording is possible in UHD (3840x2160) 30p mode.

Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer and High-Speed, High-Precision Intelligent AF

Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer [UHD/FHD]
The correction area of the Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) has been expanded to approximately 900% over the conventional area (as compared to the Panasonic AG-AC160A). This provides powerful correction even in unstable shooting situations, such as low-angle or high-angle shots.

5-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer [FHD]
In HD shooting modes, by using hand-shake correction that combines the effects of both optical and electronic image stabilization, hand-shake in various directions, including the rotary direction, is detected and corrected.

Intelligent Auto Focus
The Microdrive Focus Unit achieves superior auto focusing with higher-speed tracking and stability even in 4K images. The highest class of focusing speed, tracking ability and stability are attained in 4K video cameras.

Custom AF Function
Auto focus operation can be customized by adjusting the AF Speed, AF Sensitivity and AF Area Width. This function enables the AF to operate exactly as intended by the user in accordance with the subject type or application.

Versatile Manual Functions - Manual Three Rings + Focus Assist

Manual Three Rings
The AG-UX90 features manual three rings for Zoom, Focus and Iris control. These manual controls ensures professional operation.

Focus Assist (Expand and Peaking)
Expand (enlargement) or Peaking (colored emphasis of focus point) is displayed to assist the user's manual focusing operation.

One-Push AF
This function temporarily activates Auto Focus when shooting in Manual Focus mode, using a "PUSH AUTO" button.

Area Function
Auto Focus is easily possible with just a touch on the LCD panel. You can also change this to Auto Iris and Brightness Display.

FHD VFR (Variable Frame Rate) Recording, Double SD Memory Card Slots

FHD VFR Recording
VFR recording can be set in 10 steps from 2 to 60 fps.

Unlimited Relay Recording
By using double SD memory card slots, automatically records continuously from Slot 1 to Slot 2. By changing the SD card, images can be recorded continuously for many hours .

Simultaneous Recording
By using double SD memory card slots, identical data is recorded onto cards in both slots in this dual recording mode.

Pre Rec
This function constantly caches approximately 4 seconds of video and audio data in MOV/MP4 format or approximately 3 seconds in AVCHD format, prior to Rec Start, so the data can be recovered in case there is a delay in pressing Rec Start.

Interval Rec
Records intermittently based on a set interval time of 1 sec, 10 sec, 1 minute or 2 minutes.

Freeze Frame
Images can be recorded as still images together with audio. This function is convenient when moving the camera to a different location or when shooting a different scene.

Time Stamp
The date and time can be stamped onto recorded images.

Camera Image Adjustment Functions, Including Details and Gamma Modes

Skin Detail
Makes skin colors appear soft and beautiful. Especially effective when recording the person up close.
