Dive Dead, Kick Ass
I run and own one of Florida's most well-thought-of paranormal teams "Team Phenomenon | Paranormal Bad Boys TV" and we need to high value footage for our films. I looked at many other cameras but the XHA1s was by far the clearest in resolution. This camera is a snap to trade with and the overall quality makes it worth the money. This is one of our main cameras we use for production of our films, videos and documentaries and if I could I would buy a go along with in a heart beat as backup. The camera battery life is exceptionally good and the features give your video that go HD eye candy you want. This is the independent film makers top choice of cameras and I can get why, I simply call it an Orgasm in a box. because that is how you sense when you first get it in the mail.
My only two cons is that the front microphone head is kinda wobbly and it doesn't shoot to severely drive, Digitizing tapes can put extra stress on the heads. An hour long HDV reel equals to 12GB of hard drive storage so make sure you have an extra 1.5TB of surface HD backup for your projects and never overwrite the original tapes. I buy my HDV tapes from Walmart which are 6 for $20 and business beautifully.

Stupefying!
As others have famed, this camera is not for the casual videographer or the faint of heart. But, if you're looking for a superb prosumer camcorder, this is it. Overloaded with features, a great value for the price, with awesome video quality. Highly recommended.

Howling. Wonderful. Great!
I adulation this camera. If you don't have a lot of experience with prosumer cameras (as in my case), the first look may be a bit intimidating (a friend said, "It looks like you're filming tv information"). Especially as I added a Rode shotgun mike (not sure it does anything other than create the sound louder, but...still checking it out).
You can't rest the camera on your shoulder, but the image stabilizer helps and the grapple and buttons are all well designed and easy to reach. I struggled through the manual, but fortunately bought Dan Curran's dvd about the xh-a1 which appears to be almost same. This was a -huge- help. I can't recommend it enough if you are at all unsure of what you're looking at. He goes through the simplest things (putting the snub strap on) to some very technical settings that you can do. The dvd saved me -so much- learning time and also prevented some careless mistakes (like letting sunlight through the viewfinder).
This camera feels like a terrific avenue that can do whatever you need and the picture quality--even on Auto--is beautiful. Having the two XLR terminals will make a big inconsistency, too. The versatility and design really meets such a variety of needs--way too much machine/expense for "internal video" (it's not the kind of camera people forget is pointing at them), but great if you want to open fire training films, web videos, independent films.
Technology has changed so much in the 20 years since I was in haze school--and it's still hard for me to believe that such a great camera, capable of such a quality product, is handy for under $4000.
Very impressed. Highly recommended.

I passion this camcorder. I'm not particularly tech-savvy or a 'pro' (working on it) but after reading through the manual I am now able to do mellifluous much everything I want. The quality of the image is great, as is the price when you compare it to other HD camcorders available. It arrived surely fast too.

Eager Cam for Pros and Novices
This Canon cam has been a influential investment to my company. It was easy to learn, fast to set up, and a pleasure to use; even when all the settings are on manual. All of the outstanding controls are programmable hard buttons. Focus, Aperture, and zoom are all on the lens tub for easy access. The picture is clear and the computer interface to the camera is a breeze. This is a real victor.

Very Genial, Very Tall
I purchased this because i bobby-soxer place/lost/got my other tripod stolen. First off, its extremely tall and very easy to adjust to the highest high point. It only took about 2 minutes to figure out how to operate the whole thing, since it came with absolutely no instructions at all. It would have been untroubled to attach my camera to it but the part where you screw it in on my camera is broken but a few rubber bands fixed that.
The only maladjusted is that it is very hard to pan the tripod left/right, i feel that i might break it so i try not to. Also the center rod that you roll up can get hazardous because there is a little plastic bolt that needs to be loosened before you use it. Other than those, it seems fine to me.
BTW!!!! With S&H and tax it comes up to $30, which was kinda elevated.

I'm joyful with this tripod. It is perfect. It was my first time purchasing a tripod and it took me about 30 minutes to silhouette out how to set it up. Honestly it can be a bit confusing. This tripod by Polaroid did not come with setup instructions in the box whatsoever. If you're a newbie you either have to presume it out or get someone experienced to help you out. Other than that, I am happy with the portability, the height and the rest of its functions! It seems like it will be heavy-duty and worth the money, which wasn't much!

For the halfway videographer
I get a kick using this product. We film youth sports (specifically football) using a Canon Vixia HV30. Our prevalent problem in the past was the overwhelming sound of wind in our production. The addition of this Directional Stereo Mic solved this question perfectly. I love the ease of installation and the fact that it's powered by the camera's battery. Fair-minded attach it to the Advanced Accessory Shoe of the camera, fasten it with the circular clamp for sturdiness and you're off! It really does make a difference and definitely worth the price tag.

Personal property for HV40
In spite of camera noise--there is no mechanical noise from my HV40 and therefore not an issue here. Of the three settings: The shotgun mic setting is practical in toning down ambient sound. For example, I recently shot a soccer player alone on an gymnastic field as he juggled, shot on goal and so on. In such a wide-open space there's a lot of sound bouncing around that we don't comment, but which is distracting later on the audio. The shotgun setting captures the sound of your subject, not the busses successful by a block away or jets overhead. It's also very good shooting from grandstands during games, and picks up the shouts of players and refs. The Stero One mise en scene makes a slight improvement on the internal stereo mics, somewhat better transparency, to my ear at least. Stereo Two I haven't noticed much difference. The DM-50 is small and nicely in proportion to the HV40. I reflect on it's best use is as a simple substitute for body mics, or for noisy environments. A better audio footpath when editing video is a joy--something you might not have known you were missing but you won't want to give up once you have it. AS you may have noticed, it is often difficult if not impossible to efface unwanted background sound from an audio track. Prevention is the medicine.

A: Hi I am currently buying a GL2 off of eBay, but it's around $1500. Unfortunately, thats as penny-pinching as Canon's pro cameras get. However, search on eBay for the pv-gs400. It is a panasonic 3ccd cam, and should be under $1000. It has most of the functions of the GL2, as well as native 16:9 chips. Even though its still a consumer camera for its gauge, it is really prosumer by its features. If I were you, Id get that. Pro quality for consumer figure. Hope this helps!
P.S. Don't get the pv-gs500. Although it is an "upgrade", the pv-gs400 has more directions functions and is overall a better filmmaking camera than the 500, although 500 is a bit newer.
What is that thing called that is on most professional camcorders?

I propose on using a Canon XH A1 as my primary camcorder and using two Canon Hv20's as my secondary and third camcorders. I identify that the HV20 has one ccd and the XH A1 has three ccd's. Do you think splicing footage between these different camcorders would be problematic or should the dignity of the image blend fairly well? At the most I could purchase two Canon XH A1 camcorders, leaving me with only a two cusp setup. My other option is to purchase one Canon XH A1 as a primary and two Canon HV20's as a secondary/third, and thus having a three camcorder sting. What are your opinions/advice on these options? Other feasible options/alternatives?

A: I uncertainty most people will notice or care. Especially if you shoot it straightaway. You do cut aways to something else then back to another angle of the first shot and no one notices any different. YOu do dissolves and no one notices.
Unfortunately you're not prospering to have the in camera control you need on a shot by shot infrastructure without going to the XL2s are you mutliple cameras.
So you will have to work with the editing software.
