Canon XH-A1 HDV Camcorder
I am selling my XH-A1 because I am upgrading cameras and no longer have use for this camera. I bought it in August of 2009 and have only used it a handful of times. The heads have never been played back on and have been cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. I’ve used this camera for weddings, promos, and personal projects and this is a perfect camera for a videographer wanting to switch to HD. My favorite features on this camera is the lcd lens allowing multiple widescreen format guides so I can shoot in 2:35:1 format and see were the footage cuts off and I loved the 2 xlr inputs for mics that come on the camera. The batteries also last forever; I have never had a battery go dead on me. THIS CAMERA STILL IS UNDER ITS ONE-YEAR WARRANTY. I am selling it for $3000 or best offer. I am also willing to do trades for Panasonic hd cameras. I would like to sell in-person and I am willing to drive. I live in PA near reading.
