I'm starting to plan my move to HD, which will probably be sometime in
February. A tape-based system is a must, as I'll be archiving projects on
tape until feasible BluRay or HD burners are released.

Yesterday, I did a quick hands-on comparison between the Canon XH-A1 and a
Sony FX1. For low-light, the Canon slaughtered the Sony, which was very
noisy and was far less sensitive. The Canon image reminded me of the
VX2000/2100 in low-light. I didn't get a chance to try the FX7.

They're both big cameras, bigger than my VX2000, but I'm more or less
resigned to the form factor (I'll be using the camera for amateur travel
videography).

Is there anything else I should look be looking at?
