New Canon XA10 replace XH-A1s and does it embed date/time stamp?
Anyone know if the XA10 is supposed to replace the XH-A1s. Amazon seems to think so anyway.
On the XH-A1s amazon page it says newer model XA10 is available? Guess it doesnt really matter. What i am really curious about is whether it with display time and date onto recorded footage permanently. I need this camera for forensic and legal work and time and date stamp is a deal breaker. The manual of the XH-A1s seems to state that it stamps the time and date. Anyone confirm this? I read the manual for the XA10. It didn’t state that it had this feature but it didnt deny it either. I assume it doesnt which sucks. Anyone think they will include this or that a more advanced professional feature for the 3000-4000 dollar range?If it doesnt im stuck between the xh-a1s and the xf-100. Which is better in low light? which has fewer problems? Any other recommendations? Canon or non canon? Ive been peeping the panasonic af 100. im 90 percent sure it does time date stamp and it has good low light. Its about 2000 dollars more than i wanted to spend but if its worth the wait to save up??
Sorry.. long posts are sorta my thing. Thanks for listening. Appreciate the feedback.

The XA10 stores date/time stamp as metadata in the file. It will not allow it to display on the exported video. A product like DVMP will burn it to the video output, but I haven’t had much luck with that yet. Hoping a firmware update will resolve this issue. Holding my breath.

I have the same requirements.. did you settle on a camera? I was looking at the XA10 but wondered if the HF G10 could be used (a lot cheaper w/ apparently good low light) with Sony Vegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMwt_1QFuOM
