General Comments
A very nice looking compact camera. For a 1CCD camcorder the pictures look great, although I recommend manual white balance, as AUTO looks a bit blue indoor).
A good range of extras: Inrfared nightlight; Timelapse; low lux colour (slow shutter) etc...
The megapixel still function is very good, with the built in flash. No need to take two cameras into the shower!
The low light performance is excellent, this is a fact that drew me away from the Panasonic 3CCD cameras like the GS150, and operation is a breeze. Even my wife can operate it!
On average, people found this review very helpful

Low Light Clips - these clips attempt to demonstrate one of the HC90's strong points - low light shooting ability. In my opinion, this camcorder produces great color and clarity in dim light.
