Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
Still no 3G-SDI? The camera is capable of 1080 60p, but STILL doesn't output that over the SDI?

Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
The XA20 is a really great B and daytime event and grab camera, I'm very happy with the S/N and DR, really the only extra I would have wanted in an upgrade is a dial up ND filter.

Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
Has anyone heard if there will be a consumer version? Last time, all three were announced together...

Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
I think this is the final refinement of an old model to keep it fresh enough until the new generation is ready. Canon do this quite often - reminds me a bit of the HV20/30/40. I wonder if there will be a similar update to the XF200?
I just hope they include the zoom-speed dial beside the rocker switch on all the new models when they finally arrive. My XHA1s is getting rather long in the tooth now, but the XF300 is too expensive and heavy for my needs and the XF100/200 lacks that singularly useful gadget.

Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
Ah, my bad, this is clearly thread from 2013! Not 6 weeks from 2016...

Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
The consumer version would be a HF G40 which would not offer either HD-SDI or XLR audio.
Looking at the initial posting of : Maximum Recording Time With 64 GB card: 35 Mbps: 30 min. 28 Mbps: 35 min. 24 Mbps: 40 min. 17 Mbps: 1 hr. 5 Mbps: 3 hr. 4 Mbps: 4 hr. 20 min. 3 Mbps: 5 hr. 40 min. Those numbers appear to have been pulled from the B&H website product page. Those numbers make no sense. For instance, 24 Mbps chews through a 64 GB card in 40 minutes? That implies 1.5 GB / minute which is far to high for AVCHD. Or 35 Mbps chews through 2+ GB / minute? I don't think so. By my calculation the numbers should be: Maximum Recording Time With 64 GB card: 35 Mbps: 4.0 hours. 28 Mbps: 5.0 hours 24 Mbps: 5.9 hours 17 Mbps: 8.3 hours. 5 Mbps: 28.4 hours. 4 Mbps: 35.6 hours. 3 Mbps: 47.4 hours. |

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 thinking Mega-Bytes-per-second. All the times are off by a factor of eight.

Re: New from Canon XA30 XA35
No 4K. It's unreal how far behind the times Canon is. Talk about a company that's lost it's way...at least in video.
