Although I've been shooting on Sony HD cameras, I'm looking to purchase a Canon HD-PAL camcorder that records to CF cards in the 3-4,000 USD range (no DSLR's please, I don't find them good for the documentary work that I do).
It seems like the XF105 and XF100 both come in my price range, however as a user of the XL SD line, I'm a bit wary of purchasing a camera that lacks detachable lenses (I like maximum lens options, and believe they vastly affect image quality). If anyone has used either, please fill me in on the pro's and con's, and help me find a happy Canon compromise for my price range.
