I am looking to sell my Canon XL H1s digital camera. This is the NEWEST version of the H1 series that canon came out with this past June. Amazing camera and picture quality with the "jack pack" of allowing sync tc as well as PURE HD output with an HD/SDI in/out jack. Specs are below.
I won this camera but unfortunately am not a cinematographer or camera operator, but want it to go to someone who can and would use it. Very professional camera to make any type of films, commercials, or TV content. Retails between 7500 and 9k, looking for 6500 or best offer. Thanks
Overview
Exceptional Image Quality...Definitive Control...Professional Functionality
For more than a decade, Canon has brought industry-leading lens optics and image processing expertise to the professional market with the XL Series camcorders. In that time, leading videographers have come to rely on the superior image quality and ultimate creative control available to them through the XL Series' features and open architecture system.
The latest in that line is the Canon XL H1S HD camcorder. It has all the features that have made the XL Series a favorite of independent filmmakers, corporate and event shooters, in addition to broadcast and news markets. To complement these features, the Canon XL H1S has added an even higher level of customization options and capabilities which will make it an even more useful creative partner for the demanding professional.
Industry-standard connections and terminals along with a wider range of image control settings and options are combined with the new Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Zoom Lens III with Professional L Series Fluorite. To back up that superb lens are three 1/3" Native 16:9 CCD with 1.67M Pixels (delivering a full 1440 x 1080) and Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV II HD Image Processor. The XL H1S is the compelling choice for anyone seeking to produce the best in high definition video.
