Canon XL-H1A

Zitat: + Gute Band-Archivierbarkeit + Sehr scharfes Bild + Zahlreiche Bildparameter einstellbar - Nicht gut ausbalanciert - Rauschen bei Lowlight

Zitat: The Canon XL H1A ($5999 MSRP) is a great budget option for those who need the size or handling that accompany shoulder-mount camcorders. The video quality is excellent, including accurate colors and high resolution. The level of fine detail control, especially color and sharpness, is incredible, and was increased even more in this latest generation Canon HDV camcorder. The $3000 upgrade to the Canon XL H1S is not cheap, but includes HD/SD-SDI, Timecode, and Genlock connections on the same body as the H1A – something that pros may want to consider. The XL H1A is not the perfect camcorder for everyone, however. At 3935g (8.7 pounds), it tips the scale for an HDV camcorder. There are plenty of more portable options that offer comparable image quality, including Canon´s own XH A1. We´re also expecting great things from the Sony HVR-Z5U, due for a review shortly. We´ve already begun testing on the similar Sony HDR-FX1000, and the results have been promising. Another complaint – if you´re shopping for a shoulder -mount camcorder, you should expect a perfectly balanced camcorder. We found the XL H1A to pitch forward and to the left, which wears on your hands after a while. Overall, you can´t fault the XL H1A for its performance, which overshadows most complaints. Our suggestion is to try one out at your local video supply store / camera shop before you buy, just to get a feel for the weight and balance.

Zitat: Der XL H1A ist speziell für HDV-Tierfilmer interessant, die mit dem zusätzlichen EF-Adapter Objektive von ihrer Canon-Fotoausrüstung aufschrauben und so von der 7,2 fachen Brennweite profitieren können.
