It’s the onboard mic. There is also some freezing of the screen (although very short; about less than a second) at the beginning of the tape.
There was this time that the footage has blue horizontal stripes (the same blue color when a camera is in VTR mode), as if the “scanning mechanism” in the alternate field (or whatever it’s called) is not working. It happened just once and never again occurred. Although I get a bit worried because it might happen again when shooting a very important event.
I do not know if all these are related to the popping sound, like if they happen because of the tape head or recording mechanism.

… which means 24F is not 24P. The Canon XL2’s brochure says it’s 24P (not 24F like the XL H1). Does that mean the XL2 has real progressive CCDs unlike it’s big brother, the XL H1?

You mean Canon’s 24F is not really progressive?

Are you suggesting I drop the idea of buying a consumer tv or the 9″ broadcast monitor? Should I edit/ color correct using an LCD tv or anything that I think the clients will use to watch the video? In case of the wedding videos, most people in our place (Manila) doesn’t own LCD TVs. Most of them have CRTs in their homes. Which is why I thought of buying a consumer CRT TV so I’ll be able to see what they will be seeing when they watch their wedding video at home. Also, while they may have an LCD at home (since they can afford a wedding video), not all their friends have LCDs at home.

You mean the A has the interval recording?

Thank you. I’m very new to this and your post is very helpful. I have two questions 1st, why is it important to warm the camera up? 2nd, What do you mean by a lens that “breath?”

Thanks Jeff. That’s exactly what I wanted to do. I’d like to make the video look the way my eyes see the stage. But when I look at the EVF, that’s not what my eyes are seeing. The EVF shows a very dark stage and almost nothing is visible. I’ll be following your advice of boosting the gain to 6db and some correcting in post.

Yes, I’ll do everything manual. I also noticed that camera’s auto focusing gets confused when shot those situations.
I’ve watched concerts on tv and noticed that the cameras can get good images even in low light. Did they add lights (aside from the stage lights) to get a good image? Or did they simply used a camera that’s good in low light?

Thanks Todd and Bob. I’ll be going back again tomorrow to the department store to check. But if the price is close the used broadcast monitor (I was informed it was 9″), I might consider it. However, is there some things that I need to check to see if the picture tube on that old broadcast monitor will continue to work for more years? The seller told me it was 7 year old. To me it looks older, probably more than 10 years judging from the wear marks. Thanks.

Thanks bob. A couple of week’s back, someone’s selling me a really used 10″ or 14″ (I think; I can’t remember) portable monitor for roughly $200 (10,000 Pesos. I live in the Philippines). I think it’s about 7 years old (or more). How would I know if the picture tube will last? Thanks.
