HDMI on Canon Prosumer (XH) Cams? (request) at DVinfo.net

Ok, so the XH-G1 and H1/H1s/a have HD-SDI but where's the HDMI for these cameras?

We're looking at people who might be looking for a camera like the XH-A1 (in the rare league of having CCDs instead of CMOS) and might want HDMI to work with the Intensity... HDV compression is totally unacceptable for certain applications and component is analog causing possible noise in the captured signal. HDMI is already on consumer cams like the HV series and HF series so the tech is there for integrating HDMI so it should be time Canon stepped up and made a XH-A1s with HDMI.

You could just use the component out currently available on the camera with the Intensity Pro...

It has the breakout cable and can capture hd thru it.

That's analog, No thanks, I'd still like a pure digital signal from the sensor straight to capture.
