Total score ?
(maximal 570)		462419
Pros + Codec with 4:2:2 50 Mbps
+ sharp display and viewfinder
+ professional controls and settings
+ good low-light behaviour
Cons - No ND filter
- default factory settings somewhat conservative
- No XLR audio
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.Thanks to a sharp display, many professional controls and good low light characteristics this newcomer is a real improvement in Sony´s HD-portfolio.The only rival is the Canon XH A1, which offers XLR-audio, but lags behind in terms of display and viewfinder.
