Carrying the XH A1

I am debating whether to purchase the AH A1. I am somewhat concerned about the weight of the camera. I intend to hand hold the camera (or support it on a mono pod) and do a significant amount of walking with it. In short, is the weight of the AH A1, from a practical standpoint, such that I would be better off getting the HV20? BTW, I am fully aware of the significant technical benefits of the AH A1 over the HV20.

Thank your for your suggestions.

The A1 is somewhat unbalanced, with it's weight shifted more toward the back than the front. It's still only a bit more than 4lbs, so unless you're carrying it for hours and hours without rest I don't foresee any problem. The added weight should help you get more stable shot as well compared to the lighter HV20.
