back in September I finally stepped up from my Sony HC1 and got a Canon XH-A1. Unfortunately, we had a fire at my house last month and my Xh-a1 was exposed badly to the heat and smoke. I had sent my xh-a1 to the canon factory service center and they just determined it "Beyond Economic Repair" from all the smoke damage. Now i need to decide if i want to get another used xh-a1 or perhaps get a new xh-a1s. I feel a lot more comfortable spending sub-$3k because of the level of my work with this cam, but i really like the ability to record to the hard drive also. I never want to go tapeless because i like the ease of archiving that tapes provide. This is a tough decision.
On a unrelated note, i also would like to replace my hc1 which also died in the fire. I'm thinking an HV20/HV30, but again, would love something that i could record to tape and also something like a hard drive or some sort of removable media, but i'm not sure if there's anything like this out there.

According to the A1s manual I recently downloaded from Canon, OIS on/off CAN be assigned to custom button 1 or 2.
See page 73 in the US/English manual.

If that is the case I can only hope Canon will provide such an option through a firmware update for xh-a1 users.

I guess that's for the new S model only, right? Too bad we can't download something to do that on the original model.

That is good to hear!
Although I will not be updating my current A1 for a while, when I do I will likely go to the A1s. |
