not saying for a minute that Canon won the shootout mind you, 35 mm film came out on top...as expected. But just comparing the HPX170 to the Canon HDV model, I think the edge goes to Canon based on better low light capability, more accurate colors (such as the red dress) and clean rendering (HPX170 did not show much detail in the hair)

I would imagine the Canon XLH1 may even do slightly better than XH-A1.
HVX200 did not fare as well as the HPX170, even with 35mm adaptors
 
Hello,

How can you tell anything from the Youtube video and the low resolution? Was there an hd link?
Maybe watching the Vimeo posting of the same shootout would be better. Here is the link: http://www.vimeo.com/2437826 Even Vimeo isn't as good as seeing it live or on a 1080 display at full res.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with what you said about the Hpx and the A1 because both seem like very nice cameras and each have their purposes.

Best,
Andy
