In what way? What are you expecting? What are you trying to get it to do? My general answer is: Not much more than it is out of the box. Big cams, like the CineAlta, aren't just about image numbers. You get superb glass, shallow dof, and a host of other things that make them professional. So the answer is essentially no. But I ask what you are expecting?FutureDVXUser said:If I got one of those $20K decks, would the XH A1 be able to compete with say... a CineAlta?
Having said that, the A1 looks so nice on it's own, just HDV footage, with plenty of controls to tweak, so why even compare? Though I understand your desire to get the highest quality image the camera can create. I've said on here dozens of times an old saying, and I'll say it again. It's the carpenter, not the tools. Someone who knows what they are doing with an A1 is going to deliver much nicer footage than the average shooter given a CineAlta.
I also find that Scott Billups article very compelling.
