Canon XC15 - Pros & Cons

compact and easy to use
ensures that colors and lighting are nearly perfect
image stabilization is really
really good
good measure it s labeled as professional
It really is easy to understand
XC10 fits quite nicely on it
C100 is far easier and better for video storytelling
XC10 really is an easy camera to hold and shoot
video capabilities and its form factor
solid and well-built
high-image quality and high-sound quality
make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images
work horse with good enough IQ for its application
very easy to use and affordable teaching tool

Sony RX10 II is not a low light monster
specs do not account for practical usage
color is quite dull and flat compared
only recently got a C-log firmware update
not as fluid as using the touchscreen
absence of an EVF will be a deal breaker
slow lens still a major culprit
Canon are terribly stubborn
small retooling of the previous design costs are lower than starting over
it might not be the best camera for run-and-gun newsgathering
