Well crud. Thanks, I just figured it’s a common enough thing there would be a small cheat for it.

It just wouldn’t work for us and our workflow. We do too many things like promos, PSAs, news stories, and even short films that I feel there wouldn’t be enough there to supplement the use of a normal camera.

To answer your last question we can’t. Money over the last few years has gotten tighter and tighter and as things stand now I’ll have $10k at best to replace my current 14 camera fleet. Now as a school, 10-12 high school, I’ve been looking for grants but they either end up being too small or for items we don’t need.
Also I need to take into account that I’m handing these cameras off to students who might only be in my class for half a year or less. The XF100 would be a great field camera for my advance students but with most of the students being beginners I still need something basic and in bulk they can use that can be a reliable fallback for the advance class.
The formats do make me worry. I was under the impression that I could just plug in a Vixia HF series via USB to a computer and capture through the video program of my choice. Is that not the case or is that not recommended?
