XH A1 help

[ispy]

Hi
I'm about to buy an XH A1, but have noticed that in most example footage online the Sony Z1, and even the Canon XL2 look better. The A1 footage all seems a little dull and flat.
All the reviews recommend the XH A1 for the price, but I'm confused by the footage I've seen.
What should I do??? Please help.

Online footage means nothing. You need to tweak the footage in-camera, on set through lighting and again in post. Look at the demo reel in my signature, 90% of it was shot on an A1.

Many thanks for that. Nice reel. I think I'll still go for the A1. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

Do you find these dull and flat?
