[trspballer7]

I used one while working for recording the football games at my HS. I like it a lot, although I loathe miniDV, If I were to use it, that camera would be my choice.

[Scott]

Nice camera dude.

Seriously congrats

[3amigosproductions]

Great camera!

Im looking at cameras like that for when i get older, why did you choose that over something like an fx7 or dvx100b. I would love to know thanks!

Also do you have any test footage?

[3amigosproductions]

???????????????????????????????????

[CreepyClownpro]

???????????????????????????????????


3 things were very important to me when buying the camera.


Longevity, affordability, manual controls, and 24p.


Thats why...:)

I can get 24p and manual controls, but the HDR-FX7 is HiDef and 1,500 bucks cheaper

[Zombievsrobot]

Beautiful, I envy your new toy.

This is a promo for a church i am currently working for. It was shot on an Xh-A1 and edited in final cut.

It took me about 3 days to put it together!

feedback would be wonderful!

PS. The quality on vimeo doesn't nearly capture the beauty of the raw footage.

The XHA1 is Hi-def as well. But the FX7 lacks 24P functionality.

[CreepyClownpro]

The XHA1 is Hi-def as well. And lacks 24P functionality.

naw its 24p!

[WesScog]

naw its 24p!

I was talking about the FX7. It lacks 24P.

[CreepyClownpro]

oh...

lol

[michaelbak]

I have to be honest... the first time i shaw that picture i just went "hell's yeah!". I want a Xh A1 myself.

[Scott]

The XHA1 is Hi-def as well. But the FX7 lacks 24P functionality.

And the XH-A1 isn't full Hi-Def either.


Unless you're recording straight onto a hard drive.

[atomic9studios]

Ah! A fellow XH-A1 User! How you liking it? If you want, i can send you a few presets for it. :cool:

[FreshMentos]

I was talking about the FX7. It lacks 24P.As well as the XH-A1. It shoots in 24F instead. Which is similar, but I don't know the exact differences between the two.

[WesScog]

As well as the XH-A1. It shoots in 24F instead. Which is similar, but I don't know the exact differences between the two.

Well, it is 24P, but it just gets there in a slightly different way.

The way I understand it is that it has interlaced sensors, and it extrapolates a progressive image from the interlaced sensors.

So it records motion very similar to how native 24P cameras do, but not identical in every circumstance.

It's good enough for film-out, Crank 2 is shooting almost exclusively on the XH-A1, and it looks awesome on the trailer.

[WesScog]

And the XH-A1 isn't full Hi-Def either.


Unless you're recording straight onto a hard drive.

Well it IS, I mean technically anything that records HDV is going to give you a non-square pixel aspect ratio.

But you're right, to get the full resolution you've got to output to an external capture device.

[sonnyfromda02]

Nice footage.

[snicket]

NICE!!! Dude congrats. That is my dream camera.

[CreepyClownpro]

Thanks guys!

[thepie]

And the XH-A1 isn't full Hi-Def either.


Unless you're recording straight onto a hard drive.

Yes it is. 1920x1080 sensors, just records to 1440 on tapes. If you use HD/SDI (G1 only) you get 1920. I think you can hook up a firestore to the A1 for 1920 also.
