This Canon camera has is a great investment for my company. It was easy to learn, quick to build and use a pleasure, even when all settings are on Manual. All important controls are difficult to programmable buttons. Focus, aperture and zoom are all on the lens for easy access. The picture is clear and the computer interface on the camera is a breeze. This is a real winner. Rating: 5 / 5

I love this camcorder. I’m not very tech-savvy or a “pro” (working on it), but after reading the manual, I am now in a position to do so pretty much everything that I want. The quality of the image is large, the price if you compare it with other HD camcorder available. It came very quickly. Rating: 5 / 5

Canon XH-A1S 3CCD High Definition Professional HDV Camcorder with 20x HD Video Zoom Lens III What I can say is, this camera is the only one that provides everything you need in this price range. What really is it, the two XLR inputs on the side allow two microphones to make sound recordings, and it can be switched simultaneously between external and internal microphones, or both. No other camera offers. Get a filter kit lens and the wide and tele adapters and you can create anything you can imagine, too. I recently filmed a music festival with this camera for long shots, close-ups, cuts and static settings, everything looks amazing. A tip for the beginner to the hard disk recording keeping clean the lens and check it often is a must. The smallest speck of dust looks great on playback. I used it mainly to automatic adjustment so far as the music festival took place just days after receipt of this camera, but what little I have been playing around on the manual setting unique versatility of promises, I am very excited.

This camera is not for the novice by any means, because if you come from the auto mode, everything is quite complicated werden.Jetzt, where it is said, if it were not for all the manual settings and adjustments I would not like that there was trotzdem.Ich XLH1 a Canon camera and makes the perfect workmate nicht.Die image quality is practically the same as for a two-camera shoot it’s great.Obwohl it is about half the weight, it’s big brother XLH1 it’s still a little hard to Hold Steady, because you do not rest on his shoulder, but the image stabilization is very hilfreich.Auch the autofocus is very fast and really comes in handy when you run and gun sozusagen.Alles in all, this is a great camera with an image awesome and I simply love it.

I love this camera. If you do not) a lot of experience with prosumer cameras (like in my case, at first glance perhaps a little intimidating (a friend said: “As it looks, are shooting) tv news”. Especially because I have not a Rode shotgun mike (sure it something other than the sound louder, but … still control it out). You can not rest the camera on his shoulder, but it helps the image stabilizer and the handle and knobs are well designed and easily accessible. I struggled through the manual, but luckily Dan Curran, who comes to the DVD-XH A1, which is almost identical. This was a-huge help. I can not recommend it enough if you are not at all sure what you are looking for. He goes through the simplest things (putting on the shoulder) to some very technical settings that you can do. The DVD has saved me so much training time and also prevented some clerical error (how sunlight through the viewfinder). The camera feels like an excellent tool to do what you need and the image quality – even on the car – is beautiful. After the two XLR terminals will make a big difference, too. The versatility and design truly met such a variety of needs – (a lot of press too much / cost of “home video” it is not the kind of camera people forget is, it shows), but great when you’re training films, Web want to shoot videos, independent Filme.Die technology has changed so much in the 20 years since I was in film school – and it’s still hard for me to believe that such a large camera, capable of such a high quality product for under $ 4000.Sehr is impressed. Highly recommended. Rating: 5 / 5
