Out of the three cameras you listed, the XL2 is clearly the best camera with the most resolution and highest signal to noise ratio. Real, genuine WYSIWYG native 16:9 Mode too. Not to mention 24P Mode and Cine-Gamma and Custom Preset control with Memory Presets…

Hi,
Are you trying to monitor Standard Definition DV from the XH A1 -or- are you trying to monitor HDV in real time as you edit?
Please do let us know asap so we can help you out.

More and more in-camera solid state recording options becoming available this year. It’s smart to look around at what everybody has to offer.

Could it be that the PLAYBACK STANDARD setting on your HV20 is set to “DV” instead of “HDV” or “AUTO”? If you are playing back HDV, this setting should be set to either “HDV” or “AUTO”.
On page 40 of your HV20 manual, please refer to how to set the Playback Standard to the correct setting.
You can download a copy of the HV20 manual here:

Hi,
The HG10 records High Definition only (no Standard Definition available) as a file to an internal 40GB hard drive using the AVCHD Codec. 4 different levels of recording quality are available, each with unique hard disk space requirements. At 15mbps “Best Quality” you can record 5 1/2 hours of HD video. Again, no Standard Definition video recording is available.
You transfer the AVCHD clips from the HG10 via USB2.0 to your computer hard drive for editing. With FCP Log & Transfer Mode, you have a choice of ingesting the clips using either the Apple Intermediate Codec or the new ProRes422 Codec. That means that you don’t edit in FCP using the AVCHD Codec – you have a choice between the two aforementioned Codecs to use as your editing Codec… With iMovie the clips are ingested using the Apple Intermediate Codec.
Hope this info helps,

You can shoot HDV and down-convert to SD for editing with the XH A1… you realize a lot of resolution and high degree of detail from this camera. Personally, I think it’s much more camera for the money than the older FX1…
I’d go with the XH A1.Good luck,

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…
