Re: [FCP-L] Considering Canon XH-A1s. Any reviews? Used?

There are some GREAT comparisons out there comparing the Canon to the new Panasonic AVCHD cameras. As a lifelong Canon user, these articles caused me to convert all of my Canon's to Panasonic's.

Additionally, the newer Sony HD cameras ($5K - $10 range) have a rolling shutter that you should be aware of if you plan to do any work where a photographer's flash may be involved. This is a huge problem and can ruin your footage. Sony promised a fix. Not sure if it ever came out.

Subject: [FCP-L] Considering Canon XH-A1s. Any reviews? Used?

Colleagues,
It'll be replacing my VX-2000, for roughly the same range of corporate, music videos, documentary, mostly single-handed, projects.
Probably buying this week.

I used one for a few hours and I like the picture though the LCD screen is a joke!

Nice audio options.

Any warnings, raves, sources for new or good condition used?

Thanks for whatever info you can offer.

Back to grieving the blue chip on the VX-2000. Everything's gone mustardy; not a salable look, except maybe a couple of hip hop videos.

Cordially,
Doug
