Cons My camera didn't come with any accessories and that would be nice.

The Canon XH-A1 is an excellent choice.  I bought as a new videographer and have enjoyed it ever since.  It has worked without fail and provided great footage for all of my needs.

It is suprisingly light weight and easy to handle.  The camera is easily run, with a little bit... Read full review »

bykendona Nov 24, 2011

Pros Light camera, good quality, long battery and very good sound, easy to put on computer.
Cons  Doesn't record good in the evening / night, video files are big.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this video camera two or three years ago, I really can't tell. I have used this camera for New Years Eve, my trip to the Gambia and some other things.
When I got sick of my low-quality mobile, I decided to get this camera because it seemed good, easy and good quality. Well, I couldn't... Read full review »
