it’s about time that canon comes out with their own line of tapeless pro camcorders, i mean i love my xh a1, but ever since getting my 7D i have realized how much i hate tape.  these cams aren’t going to come without a major cost, the cheapest being just below 7 grand, but the 50 mbps 4:2:2 recording @ full 1080p res definitely make it a very enticing product to think about.  of course for the vids i am currently working on my xh a1 will do just fine and i would have to sell my car and half my apt to get the newest and best… plus, think of how many 7D’s i could get for that price!  hah!
