I love cameras. Recently, I posted about HVX200 winning an award for design. I admit it’s a well-deserved award - HVX200 is a good-looking camera.
I just got word (and a few photos) about the upcoming Canon XH series: XH A1 and XH G1, both are based on Canon XL H1. Man, this camera is at least 10 times sexier than HVX200. Look at the specs as well:
- 1.485 Gbps uncompressed HD-SDI output (XH G1 only)
- GenLock input and Time Code input /output (XH G1 only)
- 3 x 1.67mp CCDs (1/3rd-inch, 1440 x 1080, same as XL H1)
- Digic DV II processor supporting 30fps & 24fps (same as XL H1)
- Built-in 20x HD OIS lens with new “Instant AF” autofocus system
Just compare the 1.485 Gbps throughput to my USB 1.1 vs USB 2.0 discussion. Amazing!
I’m considering switching from my web cam to this baby. Here’s a short guide on how to select a web cam.
I am go to make some inde Digi film.If I use FX1 there is so XLR ,JVC is cheap but it is 720p.And XLH1 is not wide enough
I should go for sony Z1 or waiting for cannon XHG1?
has anyone tested the anti-shake lens in extreme enviroments ie - in a rolling sea - shooting long ? How does it compare to it’s grandfather of all optical stablizers? The SCHWEM FP-1 ?
is Canon too late to the party or will this camera eclipse the HVX200 in the cost effective pro HD market? two years of positive reviews make HVX a solid favorite, but the XH G1 has some nice features, like the timecode out. Can anyone say mulit cam reality tv shows. Who are probably this markets biggest consumer. and I heard that a lot of that beautiful Discovery Channel HD stuff was shot with the Canon.
