Q. I have a Canon vixia hf100 camcorder HD, Thanks in advance
A. From the canon site - AV Mini Terminal/Headphone Terminal3.5 mm 4 pole Mini-jack - is what this camcorder has. You can get a Microphone with a XLR end on it, simply get a cord with a XLR end on one end and a 3.5 MM end on the other end. Or go XLR to XLR, get a mixer and then then cable to camera from there.

Good Digital HD camera with XLR input?
Q. I need a good Digital HD camera to shoot impromptu scenes, and I'd prefer it have some XLR input for recording audio from a wireless receiver. My budget for the camera is around $500, and it must be captured to a card and not a tape. I know this severely limits me, but I wanted to see what my options are nonetheless.
Thanks!
Okay, two things I need to reiterate:
1. I do NOT want to deal with tapes. I need a camera that will capture video directly to an SD card or something similar.
2. Around $500 means anywhere from $0 - $600 maximum. It does not mean going three times over the amount specified.
I'm not looking for maximum production quality; I'm looking for speed in getting ready to shoot.
Thanks!

A. I agree with Ryan and lare... a bit more...
First, on XLR inputs. There is no high definition camcorder or camera in your price range that has XLR audio-in connectors - but you *might* be able to use an XLR adapter (refer to BeachTek or juicedLink)... so the camera or camcorder needs to have at least a 1/8" (3.5mm stereo audio input that the XLR adapter can plug into. Since these XLR adapters run about $300 (you *should* have phantom power available so your mic choices are not limited), that leaves $300 for your camcorder or camera budget. As far as I know, there are no decent cameras or camcorders for $300 that have a mic jack of any kind - or if they do, their lenses and imaging chip are so small that anything less than daylight will result in grainy lowlight video being captured (or adding a video light - whch adds to your budget).
Since you specified high definition to flash memory, - and we assume you want to edit - this also means that your computer needs to be able to deal with either AVCHD-compressed MTS files (same with the video editor you plan to use) or MOV files (and Windows editors will need a transcoder to convert those to something more useful like WMV).
So... before anyone can make any sort of specific recommendation, knowing the complete environment and making a more informed recommendation will save you lots of frustration in the future... The closest camcorder I cant get you to is something in the Canon HF M series - the HF R series *might* work, but doubtful - in either case, the XLR adapter will be needed.
