Canon XA10 Low Light Test

This video was filmed with the Canon XA10 at 30pf with available light and was hand held. VERY happy with this camera. I sold my Canon XH-A1 to get this camera and I am glad that I did. Very easy to use and the images and ease of use is incredible. No color correction, just uploaded the raw footage.

The Location was the Louisville Mega Cavern in Louisville, Kentucky. This is the the worlds first underground zip Line.

@primitivemedia Is the color quality just as good? I was told CMOS is better in low light, but CCD sensors are better at replicating actual colors.

The sales people are trying to steer me towards is the Panasonic AG-HMC150 which has 3 CCD sensors, but would rather get the Cannon XA10 if the color quality is just as good.

@coldsteel122 I choose the xa10 hands down... color is great.

Hey...what is a better camera the XA10 or the XH-A1S? Anybody know? Been looking around and actually noticed the XH-A1S is more expensive even though it shoots in 1080i. I know the XA10 shoots in 1080p, so I'm trying to figure out what the deal is.

I sold my Canon XHA1 to buy this camera. The Canon XHA1 or XHA1S are great cameras, but they only shoot 1080i and tape based. Both cameras shoot at the same bite rate, but the XA10 is superior in low light and I am no longer am limited by 1 hour tapes, I can now record with cards for over 11 hours. I was wanting to purchase the XF100, but for $1000 more I opted for the XA10. they have the same lens and senor. Hope this helps.

@Dibby59 I use the Sennheiser Wireless System... Sennheiser EW 112P G3-B Omni-Directional EW System

@primitivemedia Hey Mate, just wondering which wireless mic you have chosen to use with the XA10, cheers.

@coldsteel122 The main problem with CMOS sensors is rolling shutter, I know from experience with various CCD sensored cameras and CMOS sensored cameras. That's where fast pans get distortion, CCD doesn't have that problem.

Wow. That freaked me out! Does anyone else think it looked like the guy was zip-lining uphill?
