Full XH-A1 review
not sure if this has been posted on this site already somewhere, but anyway, here it is (from a Japanese webs site's test & review) :
http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools Some sample shots at various focal lengths and all kinds of other useful pics, (and the auto-translated text of course) |
From the translated article...
"As for the knitting machine it can photograph also 30p and 24p not only 60i, but, the selector switch of the hardware is not attached to XL H1." Man, reading this stuff will mess with your head :) John |
All Your Base Belongs To Us...
"But the menu button is attached by side, uses somewhat and the selfishness is bad."
"Because it is different from the national welfare machine," |
full review? is this a joke?
the translation alone means this is a joke...right? Anyone who could make their purchase decision from this 'full' review is nuts! Haha, welfare machine... |
You are not familiar with google automatic translation function right? (this is already stated in the first post, did u just click on the link?)
Original page: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/do...5/zooma277.htm In its native language i guess the "full" review is pretty sweet. |
i gave up after the thrid paragraph and then I just scrolled down to go view the pictures :p
|
Those translations are a scream. But there are some good photos.
|
I barely see any difference at all between the lightest and highest skin detail options on the grabs that were posted.
|
Sky detail is also very subtle.
|
The image control options is a thing of beauty. The difference between the different levels is very clear and it looks amazing what can be done.

AG-HVX200 -vrs-XH-A1 shootout?
Wundering about these two HDV cameras, which are in the same price range, and how theycompair. I realize it may require a field release to fairly study the XH-A1. but, has anyone found a link to a magazine shootout review?
|
Translation: complete crap, forget it!
Skin & Sky detail modes: barely visible Video/Cine control: beautiful! Hardware details: composite output A/V1/V2 switch (what is that?), PLUS BNC - why?!! |
The video is not that good. A lot of overexposed stuff and flat looking colors with no texture. But I'm 100% it was probably this guy's first time. Kaku's videos are WAY BETTER. I mean WAY!

Stu -
Thanks a lot for posting the link. Any information revealed before a product is released is valuable and interesting. For those of us who don't understand lexical complexities and nuances of automated translation, there's always original Japanese version :) I agree, Kaku's footage was better technically, but this article is still very much worth reading. It seems less important, but I absolutely love the idea of internal battery compartment. It promises to improve camera performance in extreme cold weather and I think it will. The skin detail is subtle, but it works. We should remember, it's HD. Not so easy to make it as smooth as in SD. Canon's high resolution does not make it easier :) For now, just patiently waiting for XH-A1... |
"After all, like A1/G1 being thorough, unless it penetrates, perhaps it is not being met the expectation of the user easily."
Classic. |
