My Quick Thoughts on the Canon XC10
- It looks well built and likely will take professional use day in day out
- Uses same battery as many current Canon pro bodies and will offer excellent battery life
- Price is an issue, For $2499 you can pick up a Panasonic GH4 and a really nice lens or two.
- Benefit of the GH4- Huge lens selection and likely better low light quality - especially with fixed aperture lenses
- Benefit of the XC10- smaller with broadcast quality bit rates
