LCD flipout
XH has all that I want and at a better price than the Z1 but the smaller LCD is a deal breaker. Z1 is 3.5" while XH is only 2.8". I've heard it can be difficult to see if things are in focuse with a 3.5" I can only image the smaller screen would compound the problem.

I'd think trying them both out in person would be a good idea before choosing based solely on LCD size. Now I have to admit, though I generally prefer Canon over Sony, Sony does put top notch LCD screens on their nicer cams.
However, you might want to test the peaking and zoom functions on the Canon compared to the zoom on the Z1. I don't recall now (you can probably look it up easily), but I think the Z1 might not be able to record while zooming in, so you have to zoom-focus-unzoom and record. I think I'd prefer a peaking option while recording, but that's just me. www.philipwilliams.com |
