Looking to replace XF100

I previously used XF100 video cameras with wireless lab mics for interview and corporate event content capture. This model is no longer available so I am looking to replace the units with a new and like-featured product. What model would be the logical replacement?

Greetings,

Check out the XA11, and XA15. These do 1080 60p. For $100 more the XA45 adds 4k 30p, and if you buy it refurb, its $1449. Hardware wise, they are pretty equal. The supported recording formats and codecs are your biggest differentiators.

Thanks for the quick response! Any thoughts on how the XA60 compares? It is at the same $1799 price point as the XA45 and seems to have a larger screen with increased resolution, yet not able to capture stills, which isn't something I typically do anyway.

Greetings,

XA60. Adds minor performance tweaks, a 3.5 in (larger) LCD and XF-AVC format. This is the primary reason for its higher price.
