The SX90 is the same camera front end as the DigiBeta790, but with different processing.  It has an advanced system of eliminating redundant information (compression) and gives such excellent picture quality that it is difficult to tell from DigiBeta.  It is a lightweight but rugged and reliable field and documentary camera
It has good low-light capability and comprehensive menus that make it exceptionally versatile
and able to produce excellent pictures in different conditions.
SX footage can intercut particularly well with film. 
 It is an ideal wildlife video camera, used by 'Wildlife on One'.

The SX with Superwide

  Camera hand carried in case;      Hold weight just 13kg

The SX uses standard SP tapes which run twice as long as in an old SP camera,  ie. a 20 minute SP tape runs 40 minutes in SX.

  One or two on-board Audio 2000 mini radio mics. can run directly into the camera from any source.   
A colour viewfinder can be included.  

 RTI, remaining record-time information, accurate to within 10 seconds
can be seen in the viewfinder.  It reduces the anxiety that the battery might run out at a critical moment and that means you'll find yourself carrying fewer batteries around
