Hi there. There are some issues with the XA25 and one of them is Chromatic Aberations are noticable when shooting against a high contrasted area especially when using more than 50% zoom. Canon dealers are putting this down to "you get what you pay for" in so much as Canon have managed to put a 20X optical zoom on this camera and still keep the price down. Basically the lens is using cheap optics I'm afraid.
For video editors, finding the perfect portable workstation is like catching a unicorn. It is no easy task to find the perfect balance of performance vs price point.
