Pros
It is inexpensive for a professional camera. It works like a charm.
Cons
My camera didn't come with any accessories and that would be nice.
Recommended it?
Yes
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.

Canon does it again. You just have to get your hands on this incredible HDV camcorder. I am definitely upgrading my production camcorders (I currently own XL1, XL1s and XL2). The features and quality of the footage of the XHA1 is over the top! The image quality of the flip out LCD screen is so...

Cons
HDV limitations, ergonomics, NTSC only, no firewire cable included
Recommended it?
Yes
Just as we've come to accept the marginal quality of standard TV standards like PAL and especially NTSC, High Definition television finally is ready for the mass market. The vastly superior resolution (2 MPx) of HD-TV is a stark reminder that the 0.3 MPx standard tv was a mere compromise of state...

Pros
HD ability, manual controls, stunning video quality, accessory shoe (for external mic,...
Cons
Some pieces may feel a little cheap to some, but to me they felt fine.
Recommended it?
Yes
After taking only 20 minutes or so of footage inside at night in low light and then in the morning in bright, direct sunlight, this camcorder has exceeded my expectations in every way. In fact, I must say that I was dumbfounded at the stunningly high quality of the video.
