XDCam has major problems. CBS bought a whole bunch and have been tearing
their hair out over the miserable quality of the software, among many other
issues. I would stay far away from XDCam for at least another year or two.
If you are renting think about the Panasonic Varicam. I've shot a bunch of
footage on it for some glossy docos and it looks excellent.
