does the canon xa10 record in 60p or just 60i rate? The new canon g30 records in 60p - just wondering.

Here are the frame rates: 60i, Native 24p (records at 24p), 24p Progressive (records at 60i), 30p Progressive (records at 60i)

From a preview I read on another site (camcorderinfo.com) the highest quality output is true 1920x1080 progressive. Anything captured in a lower quality setting is the 1440x1080 resolution which was troublesome for some editing suites. I am waiting for some more professional reviews to be published comparing this one (and it's 120GB sibling) against the Canon HF10 which is getting good reviews. The Canon features a maximum 17Mb/s bitrate vs. the HDR-SR11/12's 16Mb/s maximum bitrate. The Canon is also flash memory vs. HDD but I don't have a strong preference either way.

THANKS guys, i was wondering if this happened to be anything like the GH2 and GH3 where they seemed to be unlimited recording times?

This camcorder records files that are ideal for FCP and FCP X. It's one of the few that records in .mov (native format to FCP and QuickTime), so you don't even need to do a transcode or conversion. You can just start editing. I use one of these for recording when I need to be mobile and a bit in studio, excellent camera for the price.

XF300 is a great camera, though, it has issues in low light situations. And the XF300 tops out at 1080p, so a 4K camcorder would have a higher resolution.

It appears that the 100 does zoom while recording: Page 30 of the manual. http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/5/0300004755/01/PSELPH100HS_IXUS115HS_CUG_EN_02.pdf. It warns that "movies shot at zoom factors that appear in blue will be coarse". It does not say this in the 300 manual (page 30 also): http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0300004756/01/PSELPH300HS_IXUS220HS_CUG_EN_02.pdf.The 300 will record audio in stereo.

Do you mean the Rebel XSI? I own a XSI and a 60D this trigger works fine with both cameras, using the same cable. It also works on the T3i. These are the only cameras Ive tested with but sure it works on others as well.

30x... goes from 24 to 270.... camera works beautifully ....actually I have the DMC-40...go to DP review to compare different cameras....

I've rarely used the camera for video but, according to the owner's manual, you can shoot in 30 or 60p frames per second, with various picture size (bit rate) choices. There is a "high speed video" choice which fixes the scene mode to QVGA (640x480 pixels/approx. 4 Mbps) in the Motion JPEG format. There is also a "variable bit rate" which is changed automatically depending on the subject to record (the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded). I could send you snapshots of sections of the manual if I had your email address.

This pretty much answers your question as to the difference between the 2 modes. It has to do with compression. I have yet to export and burn to a blu-ray a wedding shot at in FXP 30PF however this forum gives you a great handle and looks like an extremely informative place to start. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-xa-vixia-series-avchd-camcorders/506376-xa10-recording-modes-mxp-fxp-etc.html

you should use memory card "Class 10" or "UHS 1". it will be good to record 60F/s. If You use Memory card under class 10, your clip will be lag, not smooth

I own them both, and have been using them in my portriat studio for a while now. i'll say this, theres really not much difference in the two cameras, a few minor upgrades in the xti, what it boils down to is image quality, and from what i've seen they are equal. Just as fyi, I have been able to get prints as large as 20x30 from both cameras with excellent results.

This does record to SD cards. A 30-45 min recording is around 5 gigs so unless you offload the footage all the time, I recommend a 32 gig card. My Canon 3Ti demands a high speed class 10 card, or else it shuts down the recording after about 5 seconds. The Toshiba Camileo X200 doesn't require a fast card. I run mine with Class 4 cards exclusively and they have zero issues.

I'm no expert, but during my research on the same question I found the following: 1) The difference between The 8MP on the XT and 10MP on the XTi is virtually undetectable until you attempt very large prints. At standard sharp resolution (300 DPI) even a 7.2 MP camera will give you an excellent 8X10 print. You really need 12MP over an 8MP camera to see results in smaller prints. Unless you think you'll print larger than 12X16, your eye likely won't detect any difference in quality between the XT and XTi. 2) The XTi has more Megapixels on the same sensor - this can add more noise at higher ISO settings and from my research it seems the XT may actually take a sharper picture in many cases. But for your own opinion - here is a head to head XTi - TX picture comparison: http://www.dimagemaker.com/article.php?articleID=732 3) Opinions on the noise levels of the XTi vary, here is a good conversation on the subject, some here own both XT and XTi: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1031&message=20548088 4) The XTI's dust cleaning system is as yet unproven - meaning that many owners of the XTi (professional and otherwise) are not exactly convinced the dust removal feature does what its supposed to. Over all, I found that some people were rather irritated with Canon - theorizing that Canon simply put out an XTi 10-mega pixel model with a few bells and whistles to compete with the other manufacturers. In effect, canon created technologically superior camera that may take inferior photographs. The XTi is an excellent camera, but perhaps not a clear upgrade over the XT. On the upside, the XTi does have a bigger LCD screen and a 9-point auto focus. The XT has a 7-point system that some say can have issues auto focusing with faster lenses. Those faster lenses are typically very expensive and professional grade so the majority of amateur / semi-pro XT users have no complaints. After my research, I went with the XT. Hope this helps

Nex vg10 has a very good recording (I have one of this), but it is obsolete. Now is the VG20. VG10 make a good pictures too, but it is not a photocamera, It depends if you like to take more pictures than video or not. If your target is the video, of course vg10, if your target is pictures, then canon

I love the G20. I don't know of a feature I would use...that it doen't have. Great camera. I record mostly high school wrestling and football. They have very different lighting. On auto mode they both look great.

I think the SX40 may be better than SX30 but there is no RAW output. Maybe time for a T3i!
