I've been shooting in-house corporate video for 20 years. I was given a budget that could afford a digitial cinema grade system. However, a majority of my target audience is online/web and a few 720p programs embedded in power-point.

The add on you guys gave with the camera was jus useless.

This canon is a solid pro camera, but it is lacking in some much needed features at its core. It should have a larger sensor to deal with lo light. The Sony's by comparison have larger sensors, and thus are better suited for lower light.

Ok, lets face it this isn't your typical consumer camcorder. At this price you could buy a few others and still have some change left over... This is the real thing, used by the BBC across the world to make programmes and they wouldn't be using it unless it performed. This is the benchmark.

I really am pleased with my new XF305 camcorder. I bought the SanDisk 32 Extreme Pro UDMA7 CF card. You have to use the UDMA CF cards for this camera. SO, check with Canon on the CF cards that will work with your camcorder -- they all differ. The picture and all camcorder tools work fine.

great

none that I can see
