Just bought my XH A1 after reading this site for several weeks
I have only limited video experience but have a lot of
photography experience.
I love this camera. Downloaded the presets and am off and running.
This forum is such a great resource. I may even have to thank
"dvinfo forum" before my mother if I ever receive the oscar ;)
