With either camera the ability to create a short film that is festival worthy breaks down approximately like this:
Camera: 0.01%
You: 99.99%

Honestly, I may have overstated the camera's...

I totally concur, that's literally true at least 99% of the time. My and many of my friend's wives watch SD cable/sat channels when the HD versions are just a click away. But to be fair, the groom...

Yes.


Seriously though, expect to have to swap around a bit depending on the logistics. No one method covers a typical wedding + reception completely; flexibility is key.

You know, with the level that these cameras operate at, I'm not sure I'd bother "upgrading" my XH-A1 to something else. With an increased budget I think I'd probably add one of those 7-8" HD...

I'm not 100% certain, but I think a major factor in working with the lightly (or non) compressed 4:2:2 footage is the lack of image artifacts inherent in the 25Mbps MPEG2 HDV compressed footage. ...

Ok its been forever, but there was a user that shot some controlled test footage with his XH-G1 comparing SDI 4:2:2 captures to HDV recorded to tape. The SDI was a tiny tad better, but the...

Moving to a 1/3" chip from your 1/4" will make a difference, but its still not going to give you huge DOF. But that's life with 1/3" chips :) We learn to deal with it creatively, and the DOF issue...

$1250 is an awfully low price for an XH-A1. If it works well and is cosmetically sound you might want to buy it, ebay it, and then enjoy your extra thousand dollars ;)

As far as comparing the two...

I can't tell anything from that clip. The resolution is low and the compression is pretty rough. Any chance for a clip taken directly from the camera?

I believe someone in this thread has recorded 24F to the unit. The HV series records 24P within a 60i stream, so that's just standard 1080i/60 as far as a recording unit is concerned. We should be...
