I’ve been away on holiday for a bit so I haven’t put up any new posts for a while. I did take my Canon XA10 with me to New Zealand (North Island), however, and was very pleased with the camera as well as the quality of the footage. Here’s a quick short of some of the footage I took visiting Whangarei, Wangerere, Cape Reinga (all in the Northland) and Rotorua. You can also see the video (with slightly different music, so you can compare moods) at http://vimeo.com/43180465.

I’ll be going back to New Zealand in July and will, of course, be taking my XA10 with me. Again, I’ll only be going to the North Island and I’m mindful that it’s their winter so it may not be as sunny as it was during the Easter trip. Still, New Zealand is always stunningly photogenic so I’m hoping I’ll have some nice footage worth sharing once I get back as well as more comments about the camera and what works (as well as what doesn’t!).
