Hi guys,
I've been a member of DVXUSER ever since I had my DVX100a many years ago, but haven't really feel the need to post anything since most of the questions I've ever had were already answered, but now more than ever I need advice.
I've grown old and tired and no longer feel the need to be carrying my DSLR with a bunch of lenses and an external audio recorder everywhere I go, I want to go back to basics, a single camcorder with a good optical zoom and internal audio recording.
I have been looking into three cameras; the Canon XA30 (only HD), the Panasonic UX90 and the Sony X70 (which needs a paid upgrade for 4K and is the oldest of the bunch), the competition is mostly between the Sony and Panasonic, I really like the Canon and I would probably get that if only there where a 4K version (I know of the XA40 but it won't be available in my country until January and I don't want to wait so much), I haven't been able to find a direct comparison between both cameras, I only found a comparison between the UX90 and the Sony NX100, in this comparison the Panasonic is clearly better, but unlike the Sony X70 the NX100 is only 4:2:0 8bit same as the Panasonic but the X70 has internal 4:2:2 10bit (which I've grown accustom because of the BMCC) I do enjoy color correction and hope to still do it with whatever camera I end up getting.
So, what do you guys think? which is the best buy? Please help.
Many thanks in advance,
Mike
