Panasonic AG- UX90 Camera Review (4K)

[@juliekmunden]

I just found your channel! Great job, man! I need to sound proof my office like yours. I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@octaviochuma4355]

Hi the AG-UX90 is good for filming wedding event?

[@FULLTHROTTLEAUTO]

Great review. you deserve more subscribers. I'm going to be going to my local camera shop to take a look at this camcorder now thanks to your video.

[@christianjustice9487]

Thanks sir for the review, it was quite helpful, but I wanna ask if you could also do a review on Sony NX200? Would love to have that as well. Thanks

[@adamjhons7088]

Great review!, im looking for an camcorder to make wildlife filmmaking is it good for that?

[@OuglandMedia]

Hi there, great review :) What 4k camera would you suggest for filming concerts, weddings and such? Lots of times low light condition. I saw a test of the x1000, and I think it looked pretty good, but this one should be better in low-light, right? You know if there will be any updated versions of this camera, or the x1000 or similar before march 2018?

[@avilconnect]

Hey Stephen, congratulations and thanks for your review! I wonder if this camera sends 4K through HDMI output?

[@seuruso]

Hello Stephen, great review. I would to ask you this, on the minute 7:37 you show the rec formats under .mov but i have an UX/90 and i don't have all those rec formats. I have only for .mov 4 options: UHD at 25p, and FHD at 50p, 25p and 50i. You think this is because i live in Europe, or because i need to set some setting better? Thanks a lot for the help in advance

[@schleicher12000]

I don't know - this was a review unit that was shipped back a few days later. It could be a European vs. NA issue or something else.

[@seuruso]

In wich option on the menu?

[@pentvbangla]

Thanks for good explain.

[@KhawaJong]

great video. can you make how to use manual on this video camcorder please? nobody have showing with manual yet. thanks

[@PERAKKINI-v7d]

VERY GOOD REVIEW. BOUGHT IT 4 YEARS AGO. JUST WANT TO ASK.WHERE TO FIND A NEW LENS HOOD. MINE JUST DROP IT SOME WHERE DURING DOING MY ASSIGMENT. TQ

[@tonnywilliams7323]

i love your clear explanations

[@LazyAHoleRanch]

Thank you. Do you find that this still holds up years later? I’m getting ready to purchase a dedicated video camera for our channel, and this is on the top of my list right now. I’m avoiding DSLR cameras because we have 2, but we don’t care for how they handle video. Thank you for your review! ❤️❤️

[@echostarling84]

As someone who has had one for 3 years doing videos every month, this is a workhorse camera for sure! It'll last and is great.

[@michaelking2517]

Thanks for the great review! I volunteer at a makerspace in my hometown, and we have this type of camera. I mainly just needed to learn more about it, so thanks for that!

[@DaveKohler]

Great review! Thank you! I did purchase the ux90 and your video was one of the most useful to me.

[@dcamlin]

Great review. Thanks. Would love to have some audio samples incorporated when you mention each scenario you mention from 3:50 - 5:40.

[@brettturner5299]

Very nice presenting style and clear review. Would have liked a little more info about frame rates (does this shoot anything higher than 60fps for example?) and some examples of graded flat footage. Also a little about low light performance (the sunset is ridiculously sharp - assume there's no post noise reduction?). As I say though great job thank you!

[@MohamedAmirios]

Nice review ! My father wants to buy it but I told him maybe it's a better choice to buy the Panasonic FZ2500 (FZ2000 outside US) or Sony RX10 Mark III. What do you think ? Maybe a GH5 ? Thank you ;)

[@aitordiago8154]

Great review! You described the Panasonic AG-UX90 and its features from your point of view quite good!

[@RealBillyGarcia]

Would you recommend this camera for an outdoors reality tv shoot?

[@kaennie8887]

Thanks for the review! I'm looking for a camera that I will mainly use for Wirecast Pro livestreaming (maybe once a week, 20 minutes or so). Since I'm a video noob and these are my first steps, is there another cam in this pricerange (or less) which will do a good job? I want to use the virtual sets Wirecast offers (greenscreen), maxbe you have another suggestion what cam I should look at. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@schleicher12000]

You really don't need a 4K camera for live streaming. You should probably look for an inexpensive HD camera for what you need.

[@tcvideosennistexas]

I've got a lumix dslr fx1000 that does great 4k video,,,,,,wonder if the ux90 would match up enough in wedding videography to make a good pair for front and back cams ?

[@WordFireGenerationMinistries]

WONDERFUL. I recently got this camera and I want to find out how to use the Av/ RCA yellow port on the camera aside the HDMI port to connect to my computer

[@roycefaggotter6860]

It should output composite video

[@eastkingstonnh]

And four years later, how did it hold up and how is it in low light situations? It’s dropped considerably in price and I assume that there have been firmware releases for it?

[@schleicher12000]

As indicated in the video - I literally only had this for testing and review for four days...

[@1990madhumaran]

thanks a lot for this review. I happened to use this camera for a short while in the manual mode. unfortunately the nd filter always stays on 1/4, I couldn't get it turned off completely. Am I doing something wrong?

[@RakhmadFEBRIAN]

i want to know if this cam can rec in 1920x1080 50i? in PAL!

[@bradleyc79]

Thanks from Chicago 2023

[@ASHISH_KR_DUTTA]

Can you use the focus peaking during recording? How long can you record continuously with a single battery charge ?

[@bacontrees]

Great review! I've been looking for a new 4k camera and this really helps!

[@danoconnor5301]

Hi Stephen, what is Extended Sensitivity? I see you have it on. Should i leave it on as well? Are there situations i should want to turn it off?

[@schleicher12000]

That's for low light situations.

[@ilkbaharkunduzu1]

Does this camcorder has Pal and NTSC versions? In bh photo review a guy has written that. I am confused.

[@30SECONDINTERNETNEWSUPDATE]

Stephen, I am a reporter with cbs I am looking at getting a camera on my own just to have for if I want to do news stand up but u said that stand up is a bit difficult to do with this is it worth for me to get it

[@AVITmedia]

Just discovered you channel. What a great review. Thanks.

[@network_india]

Do u really reply to our comments ?

[@schleicher12000]

I do. Do you actually ask these kinds of questions?

[@pawanghimire9756]

Hello Sir : nice review. I heard from another review about problems with the option of using two sd-cards in one time (both cards should record simultaneously, as backup) - the man said, the camera froze. Is it true ?

[@schleicher12000]

I didn't have that problem, but I also only had the camera for four days for the review before I had to ship it back to Panasonic.

[@toto_Maori]

If you would to recommend a camcorder for short film this one or panasonic ag-ux180?, don't want to spend a lot of money by the way

[@ጂዩዝ]

I have used this one on my job and it's pretty good. But I think you should go all out with the ux-180

[@EduardoPortasRuiz]

Great review. Any thoughts on Panasonic's more consumer-oriented HC-X1000? Seems almost identical, except for a few industry standard outputs.

[@schleicher12000]

From what I know of that camera, the big difference is the sensor size. HC-X1000 is only 2/3-inch compared to the 1-inch sensor, which means 1000 won't have as shallow a depth of field compared to UX90.

[@shem44]

from many online reviews, 1000 has soft image and perform badly in low light.

[@EduardoPortasRuiz]

Thanks, that's a good point.

[@vivenna]

Great review, very pleasantly presented arguments with lots of valuable pros and cons, thanks!

[@judesonjudah6641]

Hi Stephen thank you so much for this wonderful thoughtful video . It's really given a good picture and knowledge to handle this camera...

[@aftabrathore]

very detailed review stephen. Thanks

[@prabhujp007]

what is the video format do you use for live streaming

[@30SECONDINTERNETNEWSUPDATE]

U mentioned microphones shooting with 4K do I. Now need a 4 k mic with this camera ?

[@drowles25]

Hi Stephen - I'm a panasonic fan but I have the HMC 150 and while the color is great - when you pan the camera with the HMC 150 (in 1080) you get some crappy images. How is the UX 90 image quality when panning?

[@schleicher12000]

you would have to define crappy images. Are you shooting in 1080i or 1080p? Do you have the shutter speed set correctly? Any number of reasons could cause that. I don't have the camera any more (it was a review unit), but I did not notice any problems.

[@drowles25]

It creates hard edges on the sides of objects - regardless of if it's 1080p or 1080i in my experience. So I'm guessing you didn't notice any image quality issues when you panned using the UX 90?

[@schleicher12000]

I did not.

[@drowles25]

Thanks.

[@Steger13]

I find one for 500€ wonder if i should get this or the sony AX 700

[@michaelyolch79]

Excellent review. I think you talked me out of this one though! Back to square one now that I thought I had FINALLY chosen my camera. Ugh! HAHA!

[@lamkavangkhua1459]

Does this have inbuild Optic image Stabilizer... And Which one is better comparing with Xf 200 and SonynNx 100... Will this be useable in Wedding and other events? How is it in low light??

[@ShutTheMuckUp]

Can you remove the handle?

[@pujanpokharel7004]

sir is there a SNQ mode on this cam

[@ProductReviewkk]

A couple of questions. (i) What is the resolution of the still images? (ii) I'm sure that you can't replace the lens but can you confirm that? (iii) Can you use it for Macro filming, or very close up shots? (iv) is it possible to get the depth of field effect using this where the background gets blurred? Is it possible to change the focus while tapping on the LCD monitor? Thank you for your time. Your video really sparked me in buying this. I was contemplating GH5. With this video now I have to make a choice between this one and GH5. What would be your recommendation besides considering the price and based solely on the quality of 4K and FHD? As you may have guessed, my work is mainly in video filming . Thanks a lot for even reading this.

[@schleicher12000]

I reviewed this camera over two years ago. It was a review unit I had for a total of five days. 1) You'll have to look at the specs released from Panasonic. 2) You can not remove the lens unless you want a broken camera 3) The minimum focus distance can be found in the spec sheet (I believe it is about 1m) 4) Yes, but that will be a result of Focal Length, Iris, and Subject to Camera distance.

[@ProductReviewkk]

Stephen Schleicher: Thank you Stephen!

[@Divya_photo_official.]

Pl one video for white balance ux90

[@paulallenMacca]

Can you recommend a 4K Camcorder that has really fast Focus Lock on as i film Common Buzzards in the sky and hate when the Buzzard Jumps in and out of Focus i always use the Viewfinder as i find it difficult to Track a Buzzard in the Sky using the Pull out Screen as i use the Sony FDR-AX53. with my choice Im thinking of the Panasonic HC-X1 or the Sony PXW Z180 or Cannon XF400 or Sony FDR-AX700.

[@30SECONDINTERNETNEWSUPDATE]

You should do more reviews on cameras

[@emavideo]

Looking at its big brother so I can have SDI out and not loose the wide shot in Stabilization. Concerned about the LCD screen... Can you tell me how the images in 1920x1080 compare with ... say the old Sony EX1 which is a three 1/2inch chips camera? One of the reveiws for the UX180 on B&H said the video was very noisy even in good light situations? Thanks for the review... very helpful. Ed

[@schleicher12000]

I haven't shot on the EX-1. If you look at the bonus video that only includes footage shot with this camera, you'll find a lot of low light shots. They look pretty good to me. Downscaling shouldn't affect that.

[@30SECONDINTERNETNEWSUPDATE]

Great job on the review!!! I love it !!!

[@anthonydelorme2797]

So this camera isn't recommended for filmmaking? Any recommendations then? I have a few thousand dollar budget and prefer a 4k camera as I would have it for a long time. I'm an aspiring filmmaker. Thank you (:

[@noobintraining4973]

check out the ag ux 180

[@VistarCreative]

I see this was 8 months ago but if you haven’t purchased yet, check out the JVC gy-ls300. I’ve had mine over a year now and it is an excellent camera for filmmaking. Under $3000 for the body and 2-3 Rokinon prime cine lenses.

[@TheEliteDigital]

Regarding the focus, if we shoot with wide angle, 24 mm, is everything in focus, in automatic, or is it going?I mean the faces ....

[@gcprost]

I have a Panasonic HPX 270 and the older 250. I use these in combination with a GH4 which does the wide shot. I wonder if this new camera is a good upgrade for my ENG cams.

[@schleicher12000]

I would say, check out a demo unit at your local pro camera shop and see if it will work for you.

[@KingdomWithinU]

So your saying this isn't a good studio type (greenscreen) camera? For example, this camera being stationary most of the time and the subject having a greenscreen behind them or in an event setting like a convention with attempting to focus on a speaker who is talking? If not, What Camera do you recommend that has a nice sensor with 4K

[@schleicher12000]

Hello! Thanks for watching the video... you may want to watch it again, because no where in the video did I say anything about this camera not being a good choice for studio or greenscreen use. That being said. The internal recording for this camera is 4:2:0, which has really low subsampling of the color whish results in very poor quality greenscreen (unless you like to do a lot of roto work or like chunky blocks around your subject). On the plus side, if you have an external recorder that can record at a better subsampling rate, the external output of the UX90 is 4:2:2, which will give you better (still not the best, but better) quality footage for greenscreen work. So, what camera would I recommend for greenscreen work? Ideally if you can find a camera that has a color sampling of 4:4:4 at 16-bit or higher, then you are in business! That being said, you aren't going to find one that will do that at this price point. Hope that helps!

[@KingdomWithinU]

Thank you and Thank you for the video!

[@jonlambert76]

I wouldn't actually say that it's 'very poor' on green screen. I actually still use one older DVX100 standard def camera for green screen on some corporate work, and I use a t2i dslr camera more commonly. They both do quite well, as the subsampling isn't the most important part of the process. As long as you are lighting well, and have a camera that can take a decent image, you can do green screen quite well. Sure, the subsampling will help if you're working on really high bit rate projects and all that, but most people aren't. In fact, many streamers these days use green screen that looks 'fairly' decent even with a cheaper webcam setups.

[@KingdomWithinU]

Take a. look at the specs, take a look at the demo footage I shot, and if it works for you, then the answer is, "Yes."
