This is not the first device I bought from gmp. I started with simple DV-Tapes a while ago. Besides one order, which was delayed due to the factory, I allways received my orders quick and they fulfilled the needs perfectly. The XF100 is a perfect choice if you need a compact but professional camera. Picture quality is very nice, even in lowlight you can shoot good quality movies...
Top pro quality
