Canon XA-75 or Sony Z90?
I’m looking to replace my Canon XA-10. I use it mostly for filming events and person on the street shoots. I also use it for some sit down interviews. I want a single lens camcorder with XLR inputs as opposed to something with detachable lenses. I’m aware this means low level light stuff won’t be as good.
I’m thinking about the Canon XA-75 or the Sony Z90 and I figured maybe someone here would have some informed thoughts. Any opinions?

Hey Noam,
If you are used to Canon, I would suggest that you stick to Canon.
Just checked the specs between the two on WEXphotovideo.com:
Sony:

What stands out is the Canon 160Mbps v Sony 100Mbps recording in 4K.
There is obviously when considering the quality of footage, many other factors to take into account. Including what editing software you use and what is the final means of distribution?Just an opinion, there will be others here that has better knowledge.
