I agree with Bill I just made a choice on a new camera, I had limited fund and selected the Canon HF G10 which is the prosumer version of the XA-10, with the same sensor and glass but no XLR inputs, which did not matter to me yet as all my sound equipment uses 1/8 pin jacks. I must say, I am impressed with my new camera, the new sensor does work quite well in bright and low light, and I just shot my first job with it and am impressed with the quality of the footage. I must admit that a big concern in my choice was that the new camera uses the same battery’s as my older vixias. I will probably get an XLR add on box if the need to upgrade my sound comes about.
