I think the term you're looking for is wireless transmission, not streaming.
Streaming implies encoded video is sent over the internet to a streaming server (usually via RTSP or RTMP.)
What you want to do is wirelessly transmit your video to your computer, yes?
If you want to stream to the internet, like Facebook live, YouTube live, Livestream, Ustream, Twitch etc. then you need either a camera that had built-in functionality to do that, or a separate video encoder.
A lot of JVC cameras have built-in web streaming, requiring only a WiFi or LTE dongle. The $5,495 JVC GY-HM660, the [$2595 4K JVC GY-LS300] (https://www.amazon.com/JVC-GY-LS300CHU-Ultra-Camcorder-Handle/dp/B00USBVISE/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1486961846&sr=1-1&keywords=jvc+ls300) and the $1,700 GY-HM200 all have this feature. (beat that /u/hybridcamrev!)
If you're looking to wirelessly transmit the video to your computer, Teradek has you covered. The Bolt is a transmitter and receiver pair that takes SDI or HDMI signals, and can transmit up to 2000 ft.
The Cube is an encoder, but the stream can be viewed by something like VLC or OBS. You can also use it to broadcast directly to any of those online platforms.
The VidiU is an encoder that connects to those platforms directly, through a variety of network connections (wired, WiFi, and cell.)
I agree that a camcorder is more practical for run and gun documentaries and journalism. That said, I recommend against buying the outdated 1080p XA30.
[Here] (https://youtu.be/J4FDn8YX4Ao) is why you want to record at 4K resolution in 2017. And [here] (https://youtu.be/kIf9h2Gkm_U) is why material originated at 4K looks better on a 1080p monitor than material originated at 1080p.
Instead of the XA30, I recommend the newer 4K JVC GY-HM200 ([$1999.95CAD in Canada] (https://www.amazon.ca/JVC-GY-HM200-Camcorder-optical-stabilized/dp/B00UNIKU2M//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20), [$1849 in the US] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fjvgyhm200.html)).
Like the XA30, this camcorder has a top handle, pro XLR mic inputs, dual SD card slots for extended relay or backup recording, built-in ND filters and a power zoom.
But unlike the XA30, it also has SDI out, built-in live streaming, Ultra High Definition "4K" recording and 1080/120 fps slow motion.
Here is the image quality the HM200 can produce:
Please watch these at 2160p and your monitor's highest resolution:
JVC has also [added 1080/120p slow motion] (http://pro.jvc.com/pro/pr/2015/releases/photoplus.html) to the HM170 and HM200 with a free firmware upgrade.
Here is an example:
This camera will give you pro audio and 4K video at a very good price.
If you want an all-in-one solution with a larger sensor, you might also want to consider the new 4K Panasonic FZ2500 ([$1499.95 in Canada] (https://www.amazon.ca/Panasonic-DMC-FZ2500-Digital-Camera-Megapixel/dp/B01N0J5UFA//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20) and [$1129.95 (on sale) in the US] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-FZ2500-Digital-VARIO-ELMART-F2-8-4-5/dp/B01LX7JSPJ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20)).
This camera has a 1" sensor (much larger than the XA30 or the HM200) for shallower depth of field at the same aperture and focal length, 5-axis in-body stabilization for smoother handheld shots, a 20x power zoom lens, built-in ND filters, headphone & mic jacks plus 10-bit output via HDMI.
Here is the image quality this camera can produce:
It can also shoot LOG gamma with the Panasonic V-LOG L firmware upgrade ([$97.99 in the US] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fipcvl.html)).
With V-LOG, the FZ2500 can produce color graded images that look like this:
Although it lacks XLR inputs and dual card slots, this is an amazing all-in-one camera for the price.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your decision!
I believe this has live streaming ability built in:
