Just want to point out that the canon HV30 is down to $600 new on B&H right now.
It may be exactly what you are looking for. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Camcorder.html Last edited by Michael Kraus; November 21st, 2008 at 10:07 AM. Reason: link insert |

I was told that the consumer HDVC do not the same image quality as the SD DVC XL1S.
thank you for the heads up though... I think I saw that late last night. |

so I have my eye's set on the HF11... Chris, your review by the way is very awesome.
thank you for your time and effort... I bet it is fun and rewarding to do the reviews. |

Mark, consider the HF100 instead, and save yourself a couple hundred dollars in the process.
I would not recommend the consumer HD camcorders for wedding video, however -- you'd be much better off with a good, used Panasonic DVX100 or Sony VX2000 if you want to do video as a small business. |

I stumbled across the Panasonic HDC-SD100K. Is this comparable to the HF100?

I'd steer clear of the sd100k. I've never used one but i'd expect that those tiny little 1/6 inch sensors wouldn't hold up too well in low light....or maybe even somewhat decent light...
Of course if it's the same 3cmos concept that's incorporated in sony's fx7 and ex1 then maybe it will do better than just the typical 1/6 inch sensor. In any case, the hf100 is a safer bet and a lot of people have positive experiences with it. If you don't have a fancy computer that can comfortably edit AVCHD, then i'd maybe look for an HV20 or HV30. |

I understand the point everyone is making about the XL1s being an old camera. But, for SD, it still shoots some decent video. I just bought a used one, with the MA-100 and a very nice tripod for a decent price. I couldn't afford a new HD version. This will get me through a couple of projects, and when I can afford a new camera, I'll buy it. But, even then, I may keep this as a back-up camera. I'm new to this forum and I'm enjoying learning from reading all the posts.
