Hi everyone,

I'm finally set to keep my XLH1, after sorting out some unexpected problems with it.
I'm going to the Canon lab tomorrow to install the 50i chip in it so I can shoot for PAL clients as well.
Has anyone done this before?
What does the service center do physically?
how were the results?

Thanks,
Yahel

We they don't really install a pal chip.They just reprogram the camera or,and that what I think they do,the camera is already programmed to record both pal and ntsc and they just change some 0 somewhere to 1 to enable the menu.
