If you like the XA10, you'll love the XF100

 

Having had an XA10 briefly before buying the XF100 I was able to make some direct comparisons. Bottom line is that the XF100 offers more hard BUTTONS, a huge advantage to any semi-pro user or above, because the AUTO button just isn't a consideration...

I was looking for a camcorder to improve upon the image and sound quality that I got from my Canon VIXIA HFS10, and after a lot of research I decided on this one. I haven't been disappointed. For me the most important feature was the dual XLR inputs,...

This camera rocks!

 

I spent about four months comparing the Canon XF100 to the Canon 7D, and several Sony video cameras. I used mutiple lens on the Canon 7d...testing for depth of field, low light comparisons, etc. For the Indy movie we are shooting now, the Canon XF100...

Great Camera!

 

Purchased this camera to shoot some in studio stuff and also weddings. I was amazed at the small form factor. I also own a XA-10 which is a great compact camera. The XF100 performed moderately better than the XA-10 in most areas. All in all I really...
