FAQ about Canon XH-A1S

Should i get the canon xha1?

I have decided on the canon xha1 instead of the panasonic hvx200 but i was just wondering if canon is coming out with anything new that i should wait for.

Answer
Agreed, the Canon XH-A1 is an excellent camcorder, and it has been getting very good reviews. The Panasonic HVX200 is way overkill and way too expensive for what you get. It is also about to be eclipsed by a new Sony camcorder that does what the Panasonic does, only much better and for less money.

canon xha1 question...?

hello- i am a new canon xha1 user. i shot a news segment today using 24p because i wanted to make it look cinematic. it looked great except when someone would move quickly or i would pan, horizontal bars came up and it looked choppy. are there any settings on the camera that can make this look better? thanks

Answer
Increase the shutter speed.
