Question: Does this camera record PAL?
Document: This is an awsome piece of equipment. It is very user friendly and is a great semi-professional camera. The only drawback is that you can not record to a compact flash card on the camera. WIth that being said,  the camera is very versitile and lets even a novice shoot awesome videos. I love this product!
Lets say you get hired to shoot video, well with a memory card camera you can transfer video on the spot after youre done. With a tape base technology camera I have to take the camera home, play it back on my computer, record it to external memory device and drop it off like the next day to my client who lives an hour away. Also with memory card technology you don't have to wory about changing cards for 3 hours at a time.
I love this camera. If you don't have a lot of experience with prosumer cameras (as in my case), the first look may be a bit intimidating (a friend said, "It looks like you're filming tv news").
As others have noted, this camera is not for the casual videographer or the faint of heart. But, if you're looking for a superb prosumer camcorder, this is it. Packed with features, a great value for the price, with awesome video quality. Highly recommended.
and for me thats a lot more money to get xha1s over 7d.overall an amazing video camera meant for event videographers. i def need a 35mm adapter kit to get the feel im looking for...
Also, having two xlr inputs with full manual control is mandatory if you are going to capture professional audio too. Basically, you have everything you need in this camera to get the best quality footage possible. Recommend it 100%!
Obviously this also isn't your granny's camera. This camera is for people who want to devote part of their life to video. This camera is also for the guy new to video but wants to learn and get somewhere.Overall I give the cam a solid 4.
But I feel thats expected of these cameras. You also sometimes get a bouncy auto focus when front subjects are moving in and out of frame. It is best to practice your manual focus.Don't use this camera if you're feeling nervous or don't let someone who's nervous use this camera.
There were hand written notes on the sides of the page dealing with timing etc and those notes were also very clear and readable! I was approx. 70 feet from where the piano player was situated.The camera can look a bit overwhelming but it is logically laid out and, actually, I use nearly all auto.
I have now had my XH-A1S for a little over a year and am VERY pleased with it. The only small complaint is that it does not have the most simple fade option. I know most of that is done in post but I have become pretty proficent in doing editing while shooting and that saves time in post. Other than that very minor complaint I love the camera.
