Yup... Its a shame that Canon did "cripple" (I'll admit to that) the XHA1, probably to cut the costs. If anybody comes up with other work-arounds, I'll be interested in hearing... So I suppose a...

Then I'd buy another camera. Achilles heel implies a fatal flaw -I guess it is, if rack-zooms are your staple. I knew it had this limitation before I bought the camera because I read tons of forums...

Ah ha..! I thought there was another piece of hardware you were leaving out -the Deck Link Card. My XHA1 only has component and firewire out for HD, so the HDlink won't work directly for it. I'll...

Canon XH-A1 MANUAL LINK

True 1080p LCD monitor with 1:1 for XHA1

Has anyone -like me- been searching for a good deal on a 1080p LCD monitor with a true 1:1 pixel-to-pixel display (so it is true 19x9 and not the 16x10 that those 1200p monitors force upon the image)...
