Hi, you are bidding on a gently used Canon XL-H1 3-CCD native 16:9 high def 1080i camcorder with 20x HD video zoom lens, SMPTE TC, Genlock, FireWire and HD/SD-SDI Output. Camera is priced low with no reserve. Also offering the camera locally so i must reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. Feel free to email with questions or for more pictures. Thanks, below are more details on the camera: As Canon's first high-definition video camera, the XL-H1 camcorder and 20x HD video zoom lens with superior Canon optics provide professional level shooters with a low-cost 1080i resolution option for ENG, documentary and reality TV production. Filmmakers will also appreciate the extensive cine' controls and 24 frame option the XL-H1 camcorder offers. The camera offers uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI output for seamless integration into broadcast studios or high quality image transfer to non-linear editing systems. The Genlock feature allows studios to easily synchronize camera settings across multiple camcorders. Real SMPTE time code input and output allow for streamlined tape and edit management. This camera is fully capable of recording in standard definition DV format as well.HDTV ResolutionThe XL-H1 camcorder has three 1/3 inch 16:9 interlaced CCDs that capture images at 1080i resolution. The camcorder features selectable frame rates of 60i, 30 Frame and 24 Frame to allow the user to adjust to the assignment at hand and can switch back to SD resolution if needed. At the 30 Frame rate, broadcasters can capture fast motion like sports with confidence that each frame is captured individually and completely. Filmmakers can utilize the 24 Frame rate when creating the look and feel of movie film. The 60i frame rate, meanwhile, delivers exceptional resolution for shooting environments like ENG or Reality TV. The XL-H1 HD camcorder is the first model to include Canon's proprietary DIGIC DV II image processor. DIGIC DV II is an image processor that can process both HD and SD video signals as well as still photos, while maintaining the correct color space for each mode.Uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDIThe XL-H1 camcorder has all the connectors that professionals have been missing in other low-cost HDTV camcorders. For the ultimate in video transfers this camera has uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI connectors. The serial digital BNC connectors can transfer both HD and standard definition signals.Time CodeThe XL-H1 camera is equipped with true SMPTE time code input and output. Time code from the camcorder can be sent to other recording devices (cameras, VTRs) so they are all recording with the same clock.Genlock SynchronizationMulti-camera shoots with the XL-H1 is no problem since the camcorder has Genlock sync. This feature allows many devices including cameras, VTRs and switchers to synchronize.Canon 20x HD Video LensThe Canon XL-H1 features Canon's XL-interchangeable lens mount. For the XL-H1 camcorder Canon builds a 20x high definition video zoom lens. It incorporates multiple Fluorite glass elements for superior color, contrast, resolution and reduction of chromatic aberrations. It is a fast lens with maximum aperture f/1.6 to f/3.5 depending on focal length. At its widest angle the lens is capable of close focusing down to 20mm or about 0.8 inches.Viewfinder and LCD MonitorThe XL-H1 comes with a multi-functional color viewfinder and a 2.4 inch diagonal LCD monitor with safe-zone frame-lines built in. There is a black and white mode, selectable zebra exposure mode, horizontal and vertical flip feature and a distance readout (with the 20x HD lens). As menu options the user can select safe-zone frame-lines for the following aspect ratios: 4:3, 13:9, 14:9, 1.66:1, 1.75:1, 1.85:1 and 2.35:1Focus Assist Help FeatureThe camcorder has a feature called Focus Help that uses prompts in the viewfinder to aid fast focusing. The PEAKING setting puts an exaggerated line on the viewfinder image that disappears when focus is achieved. The MAGNIFYING setting enlarges the viewfinder image which should help the operator better judge fine focusing.Optical Stabilization FeatureCanon calls its image stabilizer Super-Range Optical Image Stabilization and it helps defeat camera shake from hand held shooting and even shake produced from a moving vehicle. Because it is an optical function it can compensate for a greater degree of camera shake and avoids any loss in image quality unlike electronic or digital stabilizing methods.

My Loss Your Gain! Excellent camera! Condition: EXCELLENT!Hours Used: Roughly 5 hours shooting and 5 hours of playback to PC.Purchased in October from B&H Photo for $3199Buy Now $2600Location: Roseville, CA I also have the original box, packing and manual. ********Free Shipping!********* SELLER WILL SHIP GROUND FREE OF CHARGE!!!! The Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam is the highly-anticipated successor to the acclaimed HDR-FX1. The camera improves upon its predecessor in a variety of areas, including overall performance and range of features. CinemaTone technology enhances both gamma and color, providing exceptional images that exhibit a beautiful film-like aesthetic. At the heart of the camcorder are three 1/3" ClearVid CMOS Exmor sensors, which capture detailed imagery even in extreme low-light! Combined with a professional wide-angle lens and a super-high resolution LCD screen, the HDR-FX1000 is ideal for both the enthusiast and seasoned professional.High Definition on MiniDV Tapes with HDVThe HDV format, used in the HVR-FX1000 allows high definition recording on standard MiniDV tapes. Experience "Window-to-the-world" clarity using the very popular MPEG-2 compression technique responsible for many forms of media used today, including DVDs and high-definition satellite television. The camera can also switch back to normal MiniDV mode when necessary.Watch Your CinemaToneThe HDR-FX1000 features CinemaToneTM technology, which comes in two flavors. CinemaTone GammaTMcrushes blacks while keeping the mids and highlights detailed, while CinemaTone ColorTM deepens color reproduction for richer hues. Combine the two and footage becomes incredibly film-like. CinemaTone Gamma curves can be accessed by the touch of a button.G-orgeous G-Series LensThe HDR-FX1000 makes full use of a low dispersion glass 29.5-590mm G-Lens with a 20x optical zoom and 3 built-in ND filters. The lens comes equipped with a manual focus, iris and zoom, making it the first camera in its class to feature a fully professional lens! Bravo. The lens has a digital extender that increases magnification by 1.5x, making the lens achieve up to 30x digital zoom levels.ClearVID 3CMOS TechnologySony's ClearVID sensors are positioned at a 45° angle. Since each pixel is positioned in this manner, the result is far clearer diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent "jaggies" that often plague video signals. Enhanced Image Processing (EIP) is responsible for processing large amounts of pixel color information, recording 4:2:2 chroma before being thrown to 4:2:0 HDV tape.Exmor InsideLow-light situations can sometimes be difficult for cameras of this size due to their relatively small sensors. The result can often be additional noise or image degradation, sometimes sending otherwise usable footage to the proverbial "digital cutting room floor". By incorporating Exmor technology, Sony has once again raised the bar for handheld cameras at this price-point, reducing the lux rating from 3 to 1.5! The HDR-FX1000's ultra-sensitive 1/3" CMOS Exmor sensors take advantage of technology originally developed for their flagship XDCAM EX camera, the PMW-EX1, delivering an amazing signal-to-noise ratio.24p CapabilityIn 24p mode, images from the CMOS can be 2:3 pulldown-converted and recorded onto tape in the standard 60i HDV format. The tape can then be played back or edited using an ordinary HDV system. True 24p editing can be achieved by uploading 2:3 pulldown-converted images via an i.LINK FireWire interface to a compatible non-linear editing system. The resultant images resemble the visual motion of film! The camera can also shoot in both standard 60i for richer temporal motion, as well as 30p, which is great for lifting stills.High Resolution LCDWhen shooting HD footage, standard LCD screens can be very deceiving; what looked perfect amidst a full-day video shoot can sometimes prove very soft or out of focus while in post-production. This is a direct result of a simple fact: most camera-mounted LCDs cannot resolve images in the same way they are being recorded. The HDR-FX1000 comes equipped with 1-MegaPixel LCD screen, making it 4x as clear as the LCD on the HDR-FX1, eliminating this oft-pesky phenomenon. Record with confidence knowing that what you see is what you will get.Extended Dynamic RangeThe camera's 30% extension in dynamic range translates into more detail in both highlights and shadows. Increase dynamic range can be very useful when color correcting during post production.x.v. Color Technologyx.v. Color technology built into the HDR-FX1000 means the cameras sees nearly twice as many colors than conventional prosumer-level cameras. The camera provides colors that are more accurate and vivid in gamut.Minus Auto Gain ControlWhen shooting in extremely bright-lit areas, the HDR-FX1000 gain control can be knocked even down to reduce noise even further.HDMI OutputMany consumer products are adopting High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) connections for transmitting uncompressed digital HD video signals. Sony has upped the ante by incorporating this into the already extensive array of video output choices on the HVR-FX1000. Connect the camera to any HDTV via this interface and view all your footage the way it was meant to be seen: purely digital!Optical SteadyShotSony has incorporated the sophisticated Super SteadyShot® optical stabilization system on the HDR-FX1000.
