I researched the hell out of them. The Canon XA20 would have cost several hundred more, did not include a shotgun mic, did not have any built-in memory, and except for a more powerful zoom and a focus ring did not have anything over the Sony. The Sony HXR-NX30 has 96gb internal, fantastic image stabilization, fantastic auto-focus in changing light (saw great review demonstrating this), comes with a shotgun mic good enough to get started with, and costs less (saved an extra $100 with a rebate from Sony that ended yesterday).

I am definitely ramping up for one-man-band, run & gun type of shooting so I bought a nice Kata backback. A bit more background..One video review I watched showed that the the zoom toggle on the XA20, while appearing to be a better quality switch device than on the Sony, was insensitive during the initial press of the button and then tended to jump a little once it "caught". In the same review the reviewer pointed out that while the XA20 has both a lens ring and a small dial for manual focus, he found that using the small dial was just as easy to use if not easier based on not having to reach as far. The Sony only has the small dial focus, but based on this review I don't feel that I will miss a focus ring on the lens (I'll likely be in automatic mode most of the time anyway). Also, the Sony HXR-NX30 could/should also be compared with the Canon XA10, as that camera is actually closer to the Sony than the XA20 with its 10X vs. 20X optical zoom and slightly lower price point. The price difference is little or none, however, when you consider that the Canon does not come with a shotgun mic and has 64GB internal memory vs. Sony's 96GB.

(It is strange that the XA20 has no internal memory whatsoever.) In short, I don't think this camera has anything at all over the Sony and was therefore dropped from my list of contenders. samsonite guardit laptop backpack 15 -16 blackAbout The ReviewerAndrew Bloom is a budding documentary filmmaker (actually, he made a documentary many years ago in 1983 and is now rekindling the flame and gearing up for his next project with the help of his local access TV station). veganski backpackHe just purchased the Sony HXR-NX30U video camera to launch his efforts. 17 laptop backpack vnb217-blackAdditional LinksShooting Solo: Low-Budget Documentary Filmmaker's Gear ListDocumentary Filmmaking Gear Check-ListHow To Choose A CamcorderYour FeedbackWant do you think of this review? swissgear upload 16 laptop backpack
