Re: First Canon XA-20 Firmware Update
The instructions were clear and the procedure was very straightforward.
However, the actual upgrade process took longer than I expected.
Just as I began to conclude that something had gone awry, it...

I'll be amazed if they give us a firmware upgrade.
I suspect they will save it all for the Canon XA-30/35...

Harm
So, what gives the best performance for video editing?
Higher clock speed?
More cores?
Dual vs. single??
I was looking at both Dell and HP workstations and the CPU choices are huge.

Re: Advice for New System for CC
Well, I actually managed to hang on to Win XP all the way to Win 7.
I managed to skip the entire Vista era.
From what Harm implied, if I can hold on for another 18 months, Win 9 might be getting...

In all fairness I should add that IMO the many new features and changes in the XA 20 make it a better cam than...

Re: CC Update Failures
It's all cleared up now.
Everything has updated properly.
It was just some sort of temporary online glitch with Adobe CC.

Re: CC Update Failures
I think I'll take your advice.
Nothing I've tried has worked anyway.
My applications (PPro, AE, etc.) are all working fine, so I'll just get back to work for now :)

Re: First wedding with XA20
Well done, Tim.
It certainly looks like the XA20 will produce great images over a wide range of shooting conditions.
Next week I'll be starting a fairly big project using a new XA20.

Are you able to easily color match the Sony and Canon footage such that you can intercut seamlessly, or is this a big hassle??

Re: XA 20 OLED Image
I don't think cost is the issue.
The XA 20 has a fairly hi-end OLED HD display.
It has certainly got to be on a par cost-wise with the Sony CX 760 ($1,500).
I'm guessing that maybe Canon has...

I just took delivery of a new XA 20.
To my eye, the OLED screen images look a bit flat and washed out.
Even the VF imagery looks a bit more punchy.

Re: MP4 vs. AVCHD
I've also wondered what the purpose of the MP4 option is.
My clue from Canon's literature is that it's maybe to provide a "web ready" codec.
Surely there's more to it that that???
