I've decided on the Canon XH-A1....It feels better built, has more features, better in low light and still produces a terrific image. Thanks for your help.

You mentioned that the HC42 is the most expensive camcorder in the HC line. The HC90 is a considerable amount more. Maybe you should say it's the most expensive in the small line of HC camcorders,...

FLASH Digital Effect

I find I am able to achieve the film look very well with the FLASH digital effect mode on my TRV38 and PD170. I think the big thing about the "film-look" is it's not as smooth as video, it looks more...

Yeah, I understand what you are saying, and as I stated although The TRV38 does give a more orange tone to the video, it still holds up well against the PD170 or most other professional camcorders....

PAL VX2100E
