Re: XF300 vs. XH-A1 Low Light/Gain/Noise

Unfortunately I was not able to open the mov file, gave me an error. That the xf300 seems to loose a full stop when in 1080p though is something you would not expect in a camera this class, 1080p is a format that's used a lot. |

The video evidently has had no colour grading applied but it would be interesting to compare the footage if the exposure were lifted in post rather than boosting gain in the camera. |

Re: XF300 vs. XH-A1 Low Light/Gain/Noise
I agree with what's being said here. The fact the XF300 is 422, full 1920x1080, etc. really gives it an advantage even with the slight difference in low-light. It's also important to note that for anyone actually lighting a scene will have varying levels of light/dark in their image with different amount of noise...this test is a basically flat image in the shadow-mid range...so it's one of the worst shots you'll really see these cameras giving you. (both of them, I own the A1).
I found these tests to be similar to the ones that put this camera against the EX1r (the XF Im talking). The EX1 seemed cleaner and more sensitive, but the detail in the image was much better on the XF. A little cleaner isn't always better. I look forward to possibly going with the XF300 on my next feature. It'll be a nice step up from the limitations of my A1. |

Hmmm.
I shot along side an older EX1, and also found that the EX was considerably sharper.
