So I listed this on Ebay earlier this month and the auction completed at $2550, unfortunately the individual that won it decided to be a NPB and by the time the case was resolved the second and third place bidders had already purchased other units (you can view the completed auction and my recent ebay feedback here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290508958329&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT). So it's up on here until Saturday or Sunday afternoon at which point I will relist it on Ebay once again.
Item has been sold via Ebay, Thanks
Listed again on Ebay with $1500 starting price and $2300 BIN. Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290518427969&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

For sale is a Canon XH-A1 3CCD HDV Digital Video Camera with 20x Optical Zoom Lens) and the full production kit outlined below to go along with it (the extra equipment alone would currently retail for over $1,000). This kit was purchased new by myself and used to shoot a documentary on San Diego Comic-Con in 2008 and has approximately forty hours of total usage on the tape heads. It was always used with a UV Filter protecting the lens and treated with tender, loving care and never abused. To date, only High Quality Sony DVM63 HDV tapes have been used in the unit. The flimsy Canon supplied shotgun mic mounting ring was removed from this camera (though the screws were replaced so you could attach another one to it) to facilitate better use of the Rhodes VideoMic Condenser Shotgun Microphone included with this kit, which mounts on the hotshoe on top of the camera as pictured below. All components of the kit are in perfect working order and would enable the buyer to be production ready with a single purchase; perfect for an aspiring independent film maker or film school student, or just someone wanting to take their hobby of videography to the next level. While some of the original paperwork for the XH-A1 is included, I can not find the manual, though it is available online here ; if the buyer needs a copy of the manual printed for them, I'll be happy to do so at their request. This kit was always used in a smoke-free environment.
