Hi all

Got home earlier today and went directly to B&H site, long and behold there it was in stock the XA10 !!!! Was with a Backorder sticker last nite. Immediately went thru the online order, since they close early on Fridays, so I could not talk to anyone, but it went thru like a flash and I got an E-Mail with a confirmation # for the order, ETA or Delivery 4/5/11.

I don't know if it was luck, or the fact I have an account with them or they are only trickling in slowly, but it went thru without a hitch.
I went back to the site like about 45 min later and it showed backordered again, the FX105 was also in stock, I don't know about the HFG10.

This is not an April's Fool day crap, it is real.

Keep you posted, will verify on Sunday when they open again.

Thanks,
Luidoly ;D

Congratulations! I look forward to some first hand reports on how this camera behaves in low light situations and how fast & good the autofocus is in both regular and low light.

Congratulations Luis.

I got an XF100 this week. Since these cameras share the same basic imaging system I'm sure it is going to be a fantastic camera.

They're not in stock anymore. Estimated delivery time - 6-10 weeks!

Is there any possibility that I'll be able to pick one of these up before July from anywhere reputable?

XA10 is AVCHD, XF100 is MPEG-2 "Canon own" codec so no comparison surely?

Ron

Same lens, same sensor, OIS, same LCD, same DIGIC III processor, same 8-bladed iris, etc...

...but, yes, different codecs.

Pat

I also want to buy the XA10, and am on the B&H notification list... any suggestions on other sources I should check?

thanks,
Don

Amazon had a few in stock last week. Sold out in a couple hours though.

Unfortunately, I had signed up for an email notification and I never got one. I only found out by someone posting in the AVS forum thread on this camera. You may want to monitor that thread as well.

Texas Media Systems (Austin, TX) has them in stock right now (Buy It Now) on eBay (4 total). You can probably buy direct from their location too. I opted for the Sony HXR-NX70 (which was shipped on Friday). I'll receive on Wednesday or Thursday!

I saw they had 8 on Saturday, and by this morning they were all gone.

I hope the supply line is opening up again.

Amazon currently shows 10 in stock.

Thanks for the update. Placed my order just now. :-)

Looks like they are increasing the price. I'm hoping my xa10 order from Texas Tapeworks will come in soon.

That's a reseller. Amazon proper had it for B&H's price this AM. HF-G10 is still in stock.

Tapeworks Texas is an authorized Canon dealer and a DVinfo.net sponsor. DVinfo only accepts sponsorship from the highest caliber of company so we encourage you to support those who support us whenever possible. Thanks.

Just ordered an XA10 form B&H, was in stock two days ago and today. Do we get a discount from B&H being a sponsor?

You get the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting this site by making
a purchase from one of its advertisers. Isn't that a great feeling? You have my
personal thanks as well. See, now it's even more feel-good. Enjoy!

Wow...Isn't that special Chris. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

Does anybody know if the XA10 still suffers from the loose and rattling buttons on the XLR handle? Several early reports indicated it was a major problem (maybe with the first cams?). I watched the video on Vimeo and it's a deal-breaker for me. Otherwise I'd like to get it.
