[iamproudtobeajew]

how do you record live with this camera ?

[mrmike304]

Guys this is a superb product review. It's definitely on my wish list.

[SuperDeejay98]

@TheSawfan101 1999$

[Taylorlaurencecook]

Hello there. Does this camcorder compete with the Canon Eos-mark ii's resolution?  If not, could you tell me a camcorder that does?

[TheSawfan101]

How much does it cost? Cause I really want one.

[lyirw]

@TheSawfan101 Around 2000 AUD/2000 USD!!

[ThatKidKnows]

@TheSawfan101 Around £1700 in the UK

[MrQuietGamr]

@TheSawfan101 2000 dollar

[AgentJuly19903]

@TheSawfan101 $1,999. Sucks but I WANT IT SO BAD TOO!!!

Can you record from the HDMI output port into an Atomos Ninja while the camara is recording. Is the signal uncompressed, clean, and without all the info that appears in the LCD screen? Is the low light performance equivalent or equal to the XF100?

[cybercab]

Do you all think this is good enough for a documentary shot in the wilds of Alaska? Looks decent to me but does anyone else have a thought?

[bouchandre]

@cybercab that would be good, but if you want a bit more quality and features go for the xf100

[ryanjd2006]

When is this camera available for purchase?

[gearsbeast360]

what is the price 

[TheFilmHoncho]

this is an awesome camera, guerilla filmmmakers best friend

[RoundTheBendFilms]

@TheFilmHoncho pop a 35mm DOF Adapter on and you got HDSLR competition right there... When it comes down to quality, HDSLRs might have 1080p and shallow DOF but it can't beat the precise control of cameras like the XF's and XH's. This camera will be interesting.

I have the 2 year old Canon HFS-100 which I love so much. However, it really sucks in low light and almost impossible to focus. This is obviously a big upgrade and brings in new technology. I just wish that Canon will make this very same camera and have the lenses INTERCHANGEABLE just like its Sony NEX-VG10 rival. Makes me want to run out and get one !

[cubeproduktion]

@alexpho Canon's most professional series of camcorders which are the XL series are Canon's only camcorder with interchangeable lenses, all other camcorders from canon don't have interchangeable lenses

[robbiethehood]

What is the purpose of 24 fps when all television are 30 fps / 25 fps ?

Thanks

[bouchandre]

@robbiethehood 25fps is PAL. 24fps is NTSC, like in North america

[iusetheinternets]

@bouchandre NTSC is 30fps, or 29.97 to be exact. 24fps is the frame rate used in film.

[alexandrefournier]

What's different between this camera and the Vixia HF G10 except for the XLR/audio/... module, the IR and the 64GB memory?

[googlemanic]

QUESTION!

will this camera giv me a cinematic effect/feel?

[JCSTrains]

I wonder how it compares to the HFS-21 which has some similiar features such as the touch screen and "face tracking". BTW, it looks like it will be going for about $2000.

[arctics4]

@JCSTrains The HF-S21 is a 2010 model - it's being directly replaced by XA 10's 'consumer' twin, the G10 (also on B&H's site). For starters, as discussed here, it features the new imaging sensor. Last year's models were largely carry-over image sensors from 2009. Other things to note... Zebras for exposure monitoring, manual ring on lens barrel, etc. I really like the removable XLR / handle, so you can get incognito those times you don't need the advanced audio and handling.

[GoodPictures98]

what is the difference between 60i and 60p? Is one better than the other for fast/slow motion?

[HaikuAutomation]

@GoodPictures98 Google for it. The i is always interlaced, and the p means progressive. Interlaced deals with older broadcasting over standard TV channels. It handles the way TV scans every other row and then comes back and does another 'field' of the other rows.

[chris1slover87]

Great review! Showed me everything I needed to know. Now to just start saving up for this :)

[DandCVideos]

Canon XA10 interesting looking forward to see what the competion will come out with. D=

[ges75022]

@Tomasdabest On Canon's website, it costs 2,000 dollars. That is cheap for a professional camcorder.

[areskzc]

Awesome review Rob! I like this little camera!

[boristrap]

Damn...

i was to buy the sony vg10 but this looks very good. even better.

[ChipValleyNewspapers]

I wonder how it compares to the 7d,60d.

[thruthem]

Does it use standard XL/DL batteries?

[JWD96]

looks great!
