Panasonic AG-AC90 Firmware update

[Roger Poole]

Tom, I’m not a great fan of updates and only do them if I’m sure that I need to. If find that with Apple’s updates they tend to give with one hand and take away with the other. If it works don’t fix it.

Firmware updates are something else. If you are at all unsure, I would suggest you take your camera to your local dealer to update the firmware, as if things go wrong during the firmware update your camera could be rendered useless. Do you NEED the update and is it worth the risk?

[Tom Adams]

I hear us. I guess I was looking more for direct experience from an ac90 owner on whether they saw the firmware upgrade as useful to them.

[Roger Poole]

Well, I have used the AC90 and didn’t like it. I found it lens heavy and didn’t balance well. As to the firmware update, I just googled it and it seems un-impressive.

But if there’s a “must have” in there for you then go ahead.

Oh I was happy with the form factor and the general feel, so I went ahead and did the firmware update and I’m glad I did… a couple key upgrades – especially the white balance… much better …

thanks for your input though…
