I still use the Canon XHA1 6 to 12 hours per week. I have a Canon XHA1s and a Canon XLH1a. I need to upgrade but my work product is still profitable and predictable.

Great Camcorder for the Money- Make sure you clean the heads

This is a really well made professional camera that is easy to operate. The optical zoom is outstanding and image quality is superior.

Xh A1's are still the work horses for documentaries, run & gun, pro videographer types.  It's versatil in regards to HD/ SD switchable formats which is a plus when WebCasting.  Even though the Xh A1 stil captures on tape, the SDI out gives you the flexibility to capture on CF External devices such as the Mini KiPro by Aja so that you can go tapeless.  Canon has always put out great products, has been a great brand and we love these cameras.

Still A Champ

The built in mic has a tendency to flop but the biggest drawback & problem is the video & audio captures out of sync at random. Two out of five times of use I experienced sync problems when capturing. It seems to be a common problem with the XHA1 from the number of complaints & inquiries posted on the internet.

Video worth 1000 words out of sync

mic to lose

For the price this is an excellent value.  Very familiar with Canon Digital camera line and lenses, so choosing a video camera with Canon features like Image Stabilzation and Flourite lens was a natural choice.

Primary use is as a tripod-mounted, single camera recording of auditorium /theater events from the control booth.  Excellent low light images and solid stereo audio.

Produces excellent SD (DV) and HDV images and packed with numerous control features on the camera itself plus additional menu customization simlar to Canon's digital camera.

The only minor con is Canon's computer CONSOLE interface software is not included unlike its digital camera line which is bundled with Digital Photo Professional, Zoom Browser, etc. I still rate the camera itself 5-stars but the software would have been a plus.
