-The Audio quality is very good
-The Noise when zooming are barely perceptible. (Edit: In very quiet surrounding noise of the zoom is clearly perceptible)
-The Display is clearly visible
-The Operation is, despite its small design (as with almost any camcorder in this price range), very pleasant
-The Menu navigation is foolproof
-The Auto Smart mode is very helpful and almost always recommended (edit: This function automatically switches the anti-shake mode on tripods not recommended.)
-Pausentaste For video clips straight
-Long Battery life
-The Price
The minuses:
-The Quality of the videos can be in low light to very quickly
-The Manual focus is a result of the operation almost impossible to use (edit: After some practice to get rightly)
-The Key for Zoom appears very kaputtbar me
-The CD with the manual I am still (was not there)
All in all, the HMX-F90 a HD camcorder with decent video quality and at this price actually unbeatable.
