re: New Canon XA25, XA20 and HF G30 camcorders
Is the XA25 the smallest camera in the world with HD-SDI? That alone could make it a really nice POV camera for certain applications.
GoPros are nice, but you'll need a HD-SDI converter, increasing the footprint. If you don't need something that wide of FOV, the XA25 could be it. Plus I'm guessing you could get a "large" battery & have the thing run for 4hr. --- Edit: Another link with more photos: http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/...ideo_system.do --- Edit #2, just saw a banner ad for the XA25 here on DVInfo. They didn't waste any time, did they.

Looks like a BP-820 battery. Does anyone know if those are the same as the XA10 / HFM40 style batteries? 20X lens should be awesome.

Can the XF replacements be far behind?

The XF300 was '10, but nothing new in '12. XF100 was '11, so there is a good chance that we'll see something new for XF100 / XF300 series cameras. Although Canon has been doing a lot with the C300 / 500 / 100 cameras, so that might be a reason why the XF line won't see anything new.

Re: New Canon XA25 Launched
I want!
Although the move to touch screens is depressing. I really don't like getting skin oil on the viewfinder.. |

Re: New Canon XA25, XA20 and HF G30 camcorders
Wasn't the Canon HF G20 announced at CES? I see B&H is still clearing out HF G10's. And now the HF G30 comes along. That has got to be the shortest model run ever.

I honestly believe that we won't see anything new, but also think it is believable that we'd see something big on Saturday or Sunday.

Re: New Canon XA25, XA20 and HF G30 camcorders
At $2699 there should be a WB switch or some way of moving between WB settings on the fly. The 20X zoom lens is phenomenal, 60p is great, but the lack of a switch for WB is very disappointing at this price point, at least to me.
