For my new camera my research seems to bring me back to the Sony EX1R as being about right for what I am after. Then I had a look at the Canon XF300 and it has made me a bit undecided.
Two reasons why the Canon appeals, though I'm not sure how big a deal each is.
1) Uses CF cards so way cheaper than SxS on the Sony. The SDHC adaptor for the Sony might work as a lot of what I have read seems to indicate very little issues using the adaptor.
2) Canon support. I am a current Gold level CPN member and as such get very fast repair and service.
I notice that Sony is doing a promoting for a free copy of Vegas 10 which would go down well with starting me new business. One less thing to buy.
Anyone got hands on experience of the difference between the EX1R and XF300? At only about £300-400 difference it's quite hard to choose.
