Following its foray into HD with the successful XL H1 camcorder, Canon
has just announced the addition of the three-CCD HD XH G1 ($6,999) and
XH A1 ($3,999) models to its product line.
With the XL H1 sitting at the high end, the G1 and A1 are helping to
expand Canon's reach to now include everyone from event videographers
and hobbyists to broadcast and production pros who want to work in HD,
but are on a tight budget. The two new models have filled in where
there was seemingly a gap and include a healthy list of feature sets
built around and/or improved upon from their big brother. Both
camcorders include a fixed Canon 20x HD zoom lens, Optical Image
Stabilization, Instant AF (Auto Focus), 2.8-inch LCD screen,
customizable settings and 60i, 24F, 30F frame rates delivering 1080i HD
video. A Professional Jackpack (HD-SDI/SD-SDI output, SMPTE time code
input/output and Genlock input) on the G1 is the difference between the
two cameras.
