Record on XL1s, playback on ?
Just a quick question for that knowledgeable bunch out there. I have a XL1s which I have great pride in owning and would like to keep it working for me for as long as it takes for the XL2 to come down in price, (probably a couple of years). My quick question for you all is, if I was to buy a cheaper mini-dv camera just for playback purposes would this give inferior quality playback. Maybe I`m just being a bit too over cautious here, what do you guys do, do you playback on your XL1s or do use something else.
Thanks Muchly Andy |

You will get the exact same digital video playback from a cheap 1CCD as you xl1s.

Cheap camcorder will do fine. The only thing I am not sure will work is 4-track audio which the Canon has but other camcorders do not.

The 4 channel @ 32 kHz, 12 bits audio is a DV standard... as long as your NLE can capture the four channels any cheap camcorder should send them.
Few camcorders let you capture 4 channels at once, but they should all play them back. |

That all sounds good. So, do you all use a separate camcorder to play back on or do you just use your XL1s.

I am using a cheap ZR60 to capture. Works great, can capture the 4 channels with Scenalyzer Live, have digital to analog pass-through, and more, I was able to get it for 379$ CDN! It make a really good deck.
And as a bonus, you can record video with it! :)

Yes I use a cheap camcorder to capture... an older Sharp and also a ZR60 too. The tape transport also responds quicker than the XL1s I find (when pressing rewind or FF, there isn't as long a delay as when using the XL1).
