Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35

I think the error the person at B&H made in calculating recording time to a 64 GB card is a common one. They are reading (for instance) 25 Mbps and instead of thinking Mega-bits-per-second they are...

Re: Sony announced new A7r mk2, RX10mk2 and RX100mk4 all with internal 4k

the sensor in the EA50 is 23.5 x 15.6 mm (APS-C)
the sensor in the FS100 is 23.6 x 13.3 mm (Super35mm)

So you can see there is very little difference between the two formats.

Re: Recommended Hard drive size?

Your storage requirement:

At 50 Mbps, each camera will be generating ~26 GB/hour of media.

Re: Canon XC10 vs. Sony RX10-II

The lighter weight of the Canon XC10 is likely a byproduct of the slower and hence lighter lens. On top of that, the Sony camera has an EVF.
