I must say a big thanks to this forum for the wealth of information it contains. I've recently bought the XH-A1 and you have been very influential in aiming me at what turns out to be a camera that has exceeded my expectations. Set with -3db gain I've tried out the presets, the one I prefer is Bill Taka's naturalO setting. Projected on a 90'' screen from my ThemeScene DLP projector the picture is stunning.

Having used the HDV tape supplied I'm now using what I have used for a long time in the other cameras, Panasonic ME DVM60 tape, so far no problems.

Thanks again Alan

I will be picking up my A1 tomorrow. Glad to hear you are having such great results. I made notes on your preset findings....thanks. I know what you mean about this forum, I feel as if I would be wandering around aimlessly with out it.
