I started in the early days of Sony in monochrome, reel tapes and have used many cameras in all my years. Canon created the XL1, which was a huge success, But technology waits for no one and HD comes to play. Canon answered the call with the XL H1A. Simply an amazing camera of great video quality and robust features. And it doesn't age.

The camera is a excellent camera for both areas of my business. I do wedding engagement shoots, love stories, dvd invitations, and then corporate commercials with the XL-H1 for my www.creativeproposal.com company and also my www.zellcreativegroup.com company. Excellent optics. I have never been disappointed by my Canon products. Am fully able to do manual tweaks with this camera, and the right weight for what I need it for with my Steadicam flyer. Also it's great for Chroma Keyeing with the HD-SDI output from it with theater like image detail. EXCELLENT camera!!!
Great camera. It is laid out very well with easy to reach controls and it even has user programmable buttons. It is very good for long format recording and shooting documentary style footage. I wish it was 4:2:2 but it is the best deal for the money.
I've been shooting with the XL H1 for over 12 years. Strayed into DSLR for a time but haven't found anything better.

I bought a Canon XL H1i (used) in ebay recently for our live internet television. It works super and exceeds our expextation. I am eyeing to bid another one in ebay.
