Dear all,

I am shooting this documentary in North Spain about Camino de Santiago.
I have been asked to use a broadcast quality camera (50mbps).

I have been recommended to use Sony F3, or EX3 with nanoflash, but it seems like some problems tend to happen with this, and if I wanted to go handheld they wouldn't help with the mobility.

I found the Canon XF 305 MXF HD, but it seems to have a fixed 18mm lens? Anybody knows if this camera would accept other lenses, or if there's an adaptor to use with it? It seems like it would allow better handling of it and wouldn't need to use the nanoflash.

Any other HD suggestions? Even if it doesn't make handheld that easy. As far as I can put decent lenses on it, would work.

Thanks a lot!

It has a built-in 18x zoom lens that goes from 4.1mm to 73.8mm (29-527mm in 35mm equivalent). It should accomodate pretty much all of the shots you would want in a documentary shoot, and it can be used with any wide-angle and telephoto adapters with 82mm threads if you want more range.
