Hi

I have two questions regarding the AC90 and the AC130/160. Perhaps someone here on this forum have experience of both camcorders and can give an answer.

- Which of the two camcorders is the most light sensitive one?
- Which of the two have the best dynamic range?


I understan that there are different sensor sizes and also that the sensor on the AC90 is a back lit type which makes it more sensitive to light compared to for example my TM900. But will it be in pair with the 130/160?
Also compared to the TM900, the AC90 will probably have better dynamic range, but how about comparing it with the 130/160?

Regards,

Having both cameras, I still feel the 130 has a more solid looking picture. If you set the SCENE functions exactly the same, they will match. Light sensitivity is different in both cameras. Yes. The backlit chips on the 90 seem to appear to make my 90 look more light sensitive but at the expense of a softer picture. I prefer the look @ 9--12 db on the 130 than the soft picture of the 90. All in all, both are good cameras but the 130 has better controls. These are my personal opinions.
