I've had the Canon XH-A1s for a few weeks now and have been taking it with me and shooting random test footage. This is a compilation of some of that footage.

Shot in California, Oregon, and Washington

HDV Shot in the 30f mode. Various shutter, and exposure settings.
Recompressed with quicktime h264 at 10,000 kbits

  • Which software do you use for editing your HD video files?

  • @xSaban13x I use Adobe Premiere Pro.

  • Why is everything so grainy? I've seen other youtube videos of this camera, and everything on theirs is nice and sharp. Everything here just seems "soft" if you know what I mean. Is there a reason for this?

  • @reiththestud It is probably my compression that I used when exporting from Premiere. This was the first HD project that I'd tried to export so I was still learning the ropes. That's probably what your seeing.

  • seanCK, dude really impressive! this is the turning point of my decision bet the JVC hd110u and Xha1!!! what is your setting on the shutter and exposure?

  • Well I shot this about a year ago over several weeks so I don't remember details anymore. I think for the most part I used shutter priority so I could lock a higher shutter speed and prevent blurring in the high motion shots. Everything here was shot in broad daylight so almost for sure it was shot with a high-ish shutter speed and a small aperture. Hope that helps!

  • My hi8 camcorder looks better

  • Youtube has really chopped up the frame rate. Too bad.

  • i have two of these! HAha (XH-A1)

  • I agree printers are crap too goes through ink like a ink sucking vampire don't buy

  • @reiththestud I believe this shooting is somewhat a little over exposed. If shooting manually which I feel is the best way, always under exposure is best.

    My opinion of course.

    Regards

  • That 30P is not quite filmic but not video-looking either. Interesting.
