Product Description:
Canon XH-A1 captures true 1080 High Definition resolution video at 60i, 30F or 24F frame rates (or, 50i/60i with optional upgrade). It captures a true 16:9 widescreen HD image that is made for your HD broadcast and theatrical projects. It comes with a Genuine Canon 20x HD Professional L Series Fluorite lens delivering outstanding resolution, contrast and color reproduction; delivers clarity and image quality you won't see with conventional optical glass lenses. Designed specifically for HD, Canon's DIGIC DV II ensures optimal image quality for HD video, with improved color reproduction - especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes. It also employs a hybrid noise reduction system that integrates two types of noise reduction, for high definition images that are crystal clear. Designed for professional use, the Canon XH-A1 comes with a 2.8" Widescreen LCD and .57" Widescreen EVF for bright, high-resolution views. The LCD and EVF can be used at the simultaneously, giving both cameraperson and director or producer a view of the action. It records on HDV digital tape cassettes. There's also a slot for SD memory cards.
Canon's innovative Super-Range Optical Image Stabilizer combines gyro- and image-sensors to correct camcorder shake instantly - whether it's the fast vibration you'd experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; or the slower motion of body sway. With HD, focus is more critical than ever. Instant AF is the next generation of auto focus, designed with HD resolution in mind. It combines an external AF sensor with Canon's legendary auto focus system for fast and accurate focus. Together, the two sensors reduce focusing time - even in low-light situations - and improve focusing performance on difficult subjects. There are 9 Custom Presets, 2 Custom Keys, and 7 Programmable AE Modes.

- I'm baffled! Amazing camera!
So with pretty much a whole year in research and reading forums,reviews, watching test footage, and more I was stuck on every question any film or video enthusiast comes across. "What camera do i buy?" To be honest...i was sold on the HVX200. I couldn't believe how good it looked and all the frame rates and recording on cards! Kicked the crap out of minidv tapes right?!
Well, i got my hands on the hvx200 and found out the hype didn't live to my expectations. Too much grain, expensive P2, too ... Read More

- They Charge for the Crappy Software
Don't believe the Canon brochure. The software doesn't come with the camcorder. You have to download the trial version, and then they try to sell it to you. Don't bother with it. It's poorly written and has drivers untested with Windows. But you can use it to do a "Preformance Test" of your hard drive. The camcorder is great, but I'm giving it 1 star because Canon lied, though Amazon didn't.

- How to reduce noise in stills
I think this is a great camera. I don't have anything to add to what others have said about its video performance, but can share some advice about getting the best stills. I use the camera for photographing orchestral performances, and value it for its silent shutter when making stills.

First, set the recording device to tape, even though you're recording the stills to the SD card. When the recording device is set to card, the camera has an annoying (to the photographer and to the musicians) ... Read More

- Great for Run and Gun Videography
While the XH A1 does have its drawbacks (4:2:0 color space of HDV, etc), the price, light sensitivity, great picture quality, and light weight more than make up for them.

I use the camera on a daily basis filming run and gun "man on the street" style interviews and sequences and I couldn't be happier with the choice. While a tapeless workflow is being touted as the future, and no doubt is, there's something nice about being able to label and file away your original tapes and rest assured that ... Read More

- One of the best Prosumer cams
I own it. I use it a lot. 9 months now and it's still working fine. No drop outs on the tapes and I've put it through some challenging climates as well as racking up significant hours shooting and digitizing.

I like that it shoots tape, as that's what my clients demand from me (it's the reason I had to buy this particular HDV cam in the first place) and I can buy stock anywhere in the world (and have). However, with the cost of digital storage these days, the cams that offer recording field ... Read More
