    Posted by Dave Rawson on December 22, 2007 at 10:52 pm

    Purchasing my first camera…to produce commercials/coporate vids. (I am much more versed in editing then shooting) I found a REALLY good deal on an XL1s. Though I’ve read that some say its not so much of a “professional” camera…that these small chip cameras are good for nothing but home vids. What are your thoughts?
    Thanks

    It’s not the best but it’s good enough. A camera with a bigger sensor costs at least twice as much. If you bought it because you got a “REALLY good deal,” I doubt that you are ready to purchase an EX1, which is far more expensive. Put more attention to your lighting.

    With the XL1S – Stick to the 4:3 Mode – the 16:9 Mode is electronically simulated and a bit too soft looking for my taste…
