Canon XA50, 4K test footage vs Canon XA40, 4K test footage

For my needs (indie fiction features) the Canon XA50 works better (1" sensor).  But, for other people, the less expensive Canon XA40 might work better - it's smaller, lighter, and has a smaller sensor. Both can shoot 4K, have XLR handles. Research the specs, try out the cams to see which one is better for you.  Here is some test footage from both cameras - no audio.

Note - more post work was done on the XA50 footage - for a more cinematic look - some color grade work was done.
