Super-duper Cameras: Canon XH G1

Agggg, I want to write about the RED, but next week there will be announcements from RED – hopefully about EPIC and Scarlet.

So, instead, this week I will flash some awesome Canon Cameras. The XH G1, XL H1S and of course the 5DMarkII. If you want to know why I am doing this even though I have not had the privilege of using most of these cameras then check out the Intro.

And now – the Canon XH G1 ….

G1_586x225

Canon XH G1 High Definition Camcorder

$6,999.00

Hmm, More expensive that the Panasonic HVX200A, I wonder why? I thought the HVX was better.

Effective Pixel Resolution 1440 x 1080 about 1.67 MP
Color Space 4:2:2 when using HD or SD-SDI
Sensor 3 – 1/3″ Native 16:9 CCDs (1440 x 1080)
FrameRates 50i or 60i
Zoom 20X

Well, at least they don’t hide the fact that the resolution is not quite 1920 x 1080.

I like the 20x zoom, but not the fact that they seem to push the Auto Focus feature – I mean why?
