Wedding: Sony Nex-VG20 or Canon XA10?

Hi there! I've been working as videographer and editor for five years, and have used several devices from miniDV cameras to GH2. Now I'd like to buy a better videocamera for weddings and events, my budget is about €2,000.00 and I'm undecided between Sony Nex-VG20 and Canon XA10.

I guess the Canon XA10 would be better for my workflow, because of:

- Iris f/1.8 (great to blur effects and low light);
- Double slot for SDXC + internal memory of 64Gb;
- Optical image stabilizer (in the camera and not in the lens as the VG20);
- 2 XLR inputs
- Zoom key

I'm also undecided about the white balance of these cameras and their sensor. Do you think it's better the APS-C sized chip inside the VG20 or the HD CMOS Pro of the Canon XA10 (the same of the XF100 model)? May you suggest me?

Thanks a lot!
Luigi

Hi Menno,

At last I've chosen the VG20 and bought it on-line. Still waiting for the delivery, I'll let you know :)
