First Letus Extreme Test with Canon XH A1s

This is my very first test with my new Letus Extreme on the Canon XH A1s. It's just a really rough handheld sequence that I really did for myself to test out a couple of my lenses and get a feel for the adapter as i have never used one before. The lenses used were a Canon FD 50mm 1.8 and 135mm 2.5. The colours were edited in 'Color'

I see allot of guys filming with DSLR's - is it better quality than a XH-A1s?

[simmoDH]

@LaDolceLingua I have only had a little experience shooting on a DSLR. From what I can see in good lighting conditions there is no difference in quality between the two. If you prefer the small DOF then by adding a DOF adaptor to the XH A1s will give you exactly that. In low natural lighting you would have to say a good quality DSLR like the Canon 5D mkII wins out though. In saying that I would not go on a film shoot with just a DSLR. I can see a place where using both would be beneficial though

@bestamerica this was the first time I had ever used my camera with a letus extreme, all together the rig is very heavy and i was using it handheld as i was just mucking around for my own benefit so yeah it is very shaky! these days i use a shoulder mount or a tripod depending on what i'm shooting

@DanielGClapp What a waste of beauty when a woman smokes, it will make her age like two times faster.

@matnau1412 I removed my comment because I truly made a mistake, I thought it was another model (XA10 instead of XH), in all honesty.

[matnau1412]

@fdesouchecom You removed you comment because you know how wrong it was right. I don't spread lies, and I have no advantage in this situation. Thank you.

@James10397 it uses a tape! There is a memory card but it is for still images only.

[James10397]

Is this camera digital or does it require a DV tape?

I think its funny when people buy Really nice Cameras, thinking they are going to make awesome movies, but then they realize that IDEAS dont come in the box. End up not making any movies/short/films etc.
