Hi,

I've been making films for a while but always borrowing the camera(dvx100b which I loved to bits)
from film school, friends, etc.... I think is time to get my own.
I've been doing my research(lots) and within my price range (2000-2500£) I almost decided to get
a brand new XHA1 as the footage and specs that I've seen here and on the web are great!!
but I just found this XL-H1(http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160156924590&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006) the guy says that
I could buy it for 1500£. I'm scared that It could be a scam or something,
also, isn't the XL-H1 a bit bulky/big for me? I'm used to the size of the panasonic
and I think that these cameras are just the perfect size, and the difference
in quality between one(XHA1) and the other(XL-H1) is not that big!!
What would you do?
thanks in advance

It is a scam. An XL-H1 goes for at least US $6000 used, there's no way he's willing to sell it for that price. Look at his feedback history, zero. The guy just joined ebay a few days ago. What is too good to be true usually is.

Yeah, I think it is too. I think that I always knew it but I though that
I would checked with someone with more experience.

cheers!!!
