Re: What camera do you use?

Posted by Ghostlight PermaLink
Let me just say we've seen the XL-H1 footage, shot on HDV, 24F, and it looks incredible. If the AH-X1 (is that right?) does have the same quality, then go for it! Can't beat that picture for the price, for sure. The whole uncompressed thing only matters when you shoot greenscreen or get really close to your monitor. Canon's image quality kicks the arse of everyone out there and you just can't lose.

The P2 card swap process is actually a dream! It's still too expensive for most of us to own, but if you have two cards, you have someone transfering one card while you continue shooting on the other. Playing clips with thumbnails from the camera without having to cue the tape is sweet. Logging your footage without being slowed down by a tape deck and capture process is heaven.

If I had to buy an affordable camera right now, Canon! Buy it and enjoy!
