re: Canon announces XC10 and new codec XF-AVC
Reliability, compatibility & familiarity. On many productions (and in rental houses) price often comes secondary to factors such as these (provided the Image quality is there).

re: Canon announces XC10 and new codec XF-AVC
C300mkII actually looks a lot better than I had expected. I think they've certainly done enough to prevent a tidal wave of C300 owners switching over to the Sony FS7.
The XC10 has me on the fence...

If a decent zoom is a must, any of the upper-end consumer camcorders will do the trick quality wise (AX100 sure looks nice, though) and your challenge will be more about educating them to use a...

Re: Which cam for less than 5000 bucks
I've never used an URSA but I did price up a package recently. Once I added a battery solution and enough media for a full day of shooting, it worked out close to $10,000.

Re: Which cam for less than 5000 bucks
$2000 for lenses is actually not a lot if you plan to cover the the same focal length range as your XH-A1 or an XF200.
$2000 gets you a nice pair of zoom lenses (eg Canon 70-200 f/2.8 & 24-70...

As always though, something else is always just...

Well, you don't need to make the comparison, you just need to understand what each focal length will look like on your camera.

Putting aside the artistic/theoretic merits of 24p vs 25/30p vs 50/60p, these days I can't stand the look of the 50p/60p video form the Canon DSLR's. It just seems so soft and the aliasing is quite...
