| |  Canon xm2
:lol:
Hello
I am considering taking the plunge and buying a Canon XM2 camera. I currently use a Panasonic NV GS120 which doesn't seem a bad bit of kit but I'm sure that the XM2 will be better. I have seen them advertised for about £1400 which doesn't seem a bad price for what you get. Does anyone have any idea what they are like for low light work. My main usage will be for wildlife work (something which appears to be somewhat limited with the panasonic). I have also recently been involved with making a promo video for my company and agaion the Panasonic fared well but I think that the XM2 would have done better. Any reviews or other advice will be greatly appreciated.

:(
Yes it is the same question and yes I had forgotten that I'd asked and yes I am trying to be extra extra extra sure. My problem is that I am now the wrong side of fifty and senile dementia is setting in rapidly. Perhaps I ought to forget an xm2 as it will probably be too complicated for my failing mind.
However, if it cheered you all up that was my good deed for the day and hopefully I'll get to heaven.
Cheers all
Ken

Don't let the wrong side of 50 get to you Ken. I'm fifty and bought an XM2 this year, they are great!

You won't regret the decision Ken. If you don't want to mess around with the settings, it's as simple as pressing the big red button to stop and start recording  . You won't be dissapointed and I hope to see some of your videos! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
