Versatile Variable Frame Rate Comera

The XH-A1 is a solid performer, and as a 1/3" chip camera, it's a different beast than the AF-100. I'd highly recommend renting an AF-100 or trying to get some hands-on time before you buy. But if your central need is variable frame rates at 1080p, and budget is a concern, you can't do any better than the AF-100 that I know of.

Hmm, I really feel that for what I want this film to be, I really need to go the RED ONE route.

More before long I hope.

As you probably know, the Sony NEX FS-100 will also shoot up to 60fps in 1920x1080. However,
unlike the Panasonic AF 100, it will also actually record audio while shooting at 60fps. The
Sony F3 will also give you 60fps, but only to an external recorder. But the F3 will give you better
quality than either the AF 100 or the FS 100 of course it's more expensive as well, but it should
be cheaper than a Red.
