Which of these 3 cameras to use with a Workprinter XP

[Bjarne Eldhuset]

Hi, where I work, we just got a "company deal" with an electronics store. This means I can buy stuff there for the same prices as my employer gets. The store has the following three cameras available at prices I can afford:

 

1. Canon DM-XL2 (price is 40 749 Norwegian kroner including taxes)

 

2. Canon XH-A1 (price is 31 680 Norwegian kroner including taxes)

 

3. Sony HDR-FX7E? (price is 26 995 Norwegian kroner including taxes)

 

I need the camera for general shooting, but would also like to use it with the Workprinter Xp, which I just have ordered!

 

Which camera do you think will give the best results with the Workprinter XP? Tried any of them? Pros and cons?

 

Image quality is the most important factor to me, but having no-trouble-great-sound is of course a plus.

HDV seems tempting, but are the optics good enough to conquer the XL2?

 

Hope to get some first, second and third hand advice from you people!

 

Regards, Bjarne, Oslo, Norway.
