Total score ?
(maximal 570)		462352
Pros + Codec with 4:2:2 50 Mbps
+ professional handling
+ cheap workflow by using XDCAM EX on SDCH cards
+ flexible assignable
Cons - No ND filter
- wide angle with slight distortions
- poor low-light
- display and viewfinder have a very low resolution
Conclusion The XF100/105 is a compact workhorse that plays off its strength especially in the documentation and news area (less in a scenic environment).Here the camera concept feels quite well thought-through.The lack of a ND filter and the 1/3" chip are our main points of criticism, aside from slight difficulties in the handling, though these of course are partly due to the compact form.In addition to the professional focus and features of the camera the XDCAM EX format persuades.The trade-off consists of the no longer up-to-date low-light capabilities, the narrow wide angle and the lens distortion.Also the image stabilizer, as well as the display and viewfinder seem a little out-dated..On the plus side of course you have to add the XLR jacks and the ND filter.In the price range of the estimated 2700 Euro though, these are no unique features, unless one does needs XDCAM EX recording or is looking for CCD sensors.
