  • Does this camera have interchangeable lenses?

  • '

    i have one canon A1 digitalcamera Hi8mm,,,

    it is not working at all

  • ive put the lenz protector on my cam and i can sometimes see the reflection of the lenz in the lenz protector when im filming .

    have you any tips ?

  • Surely with a skatevideo you would also require a "fish-eye" lens

  • Well I wouldn't say this camera is of broadcast or professional quality, look up the Canon XL H1a

    That would give you broadcast quality.

    I have heard that the BBC use the Sony HDR

  • hey Tavojr,

    unless you are going to be filming a movie with skateboarding in it, i wouldnt suggest this beast of a camera. this camera has many functions, and is expensive to be giving the camera to your buddies to film, only the owner will treat the camera like a new born baby.

    + you can not get a fish eye lens for this camera that is cheap. (72mm is a big thread!)

    for your skateboarding i would just go get a second hand GL2 and slap a $100 fish eye on it. or GL1 (cheaper)

  • get a 150dls camera from B.Buy

  • On eBay you can get it under $3000.

  • the NTSC version isn't sub-$3000 yet, but it's just a little more than $3000

  • I'm going to buy XH A1, and i know it is very very good.

    You can get the PAL version for about, $3600 on eBay, but I'm from Europe. If you're from USA you need NTSC, which is much cheaper. Under $3000! Good luck!
