Brian, I've tried myself to push XL1 and XL2 to its limits to see how close one can get to take footages of the dark sky. (Have not yet experimented with XL H1.) This is what I've found: if you set...

I've been shooting Aurora borealis for years, although not have had that many chances to get good shots. However, couple times have been lucky.

We have also a lot of mosquitos in the summer time. They follow the carbon oxide generated by breathing, and thus, not standing next to the camera already helps. When I take footages of landscapes, I...

My experience also seconds that there is less problems with the EF lenses than with the stock 20x lens. For some reason the camera still prompts the EF lenses are HD incompatible when the EF-adapter...

Purples and Greens
Getting back to Michael's original concern, now once having more experience of the XL H1, I've started to suspect, that there's not necessarily something wrong with the camcorder Michael had....

Another approach is to...

Few comments on this discussion. As Bill, I've also tried to make up my mine between 50i and 25f modes. With the XL2 I ended up using 25p all the time.
I've been testing 50i and 25f modes of XL...

Not sure whether I agree with this. This is bit like comparing apples and oranges. I have not tried to compare the noise or low light levels, so don't want to take sides on that. (It is right that...

Right, the problem must be at this side. The company maintaining the systems say everything should be ok from their side. I just copied the file in a completely new way to the server. Any change?

Changing type of Premiere project
I edited some time ago a slide show with Premiere Pro 1.5.1. The final output was a DV-tape. Now, I've been asked to make a HD-version of the same program, and presumably, I don't have to start from...

Yes, you are right. I observed two things yesterday. First, the EF400 needs different color correction than the standard 20x lens. Second, the manual adjustment of white balance is handy. Yesterday...
