Further differences between XH and XL at DVinfo.net

I'll take a wild guess and assume that the XH series do not offer a macro feature (not talking about block compression). The XL H1 standard lens has a minimum focusing distance of 20mm in its macro override mode. I haven't seen the minimum focusing distance for the XH listed anywhere - is this information available yet?

Canon has been consistent with providing built-in macro capabilities on every fixed-lens camcorder they've made for the past several years. I highly doubt that the XH series will break this tradition. I had my hands on both a G1 and A1 this past weekend and didn't even think to check for this, as I just naturally assumed it would be there. Sorry for not thinking about it while I had the chance.
