Product Review

This camcorder is high end and is best suited for the professional use. However, it is lightweight and may be used for day to day purpose as it has several modes which make it possible to be used without much manipulation. The video quality is good even at auto level. Although it is expensive

There's a tradeoff when using the Canon XL H1.  What's nice is that the quality without a doubt is incredible.  However, you're not going to be able to travel comfortably with this over your shoulders.  It's bulky and heavy.  This camcorder is great for special occasions
