The Canon XLH1 High Definition Camcorder is here - set to become a favourite amongst wildlife film-makers - and available at a special price to readers of Wildlife Film News and Wildeye.

For some years now the Canon XL range of camcorders (XL1, XL1s, XL2 and now the new High Definition XL H1) have been known as THE camera for wildlife film-makers working the the miniDV format. The 3CCD picture quality, accessories and functionality, and ability to change lenses (plus use ordinary SLR camera lenses using adaptors) make the Canon XL a clear favourite.

Canon's latest XL offering has certainly hit the mark. The XLH1 takes the same form as the DV only XL2 but that's really where the similarity ends.

Superior Canon Optics and exceptional image processing give you a brilliant HD image. The XL H1 also features uncompressed HD-SDI and SD-SDI output, as well as Genlock input and SMPTE time code input and output for multi-camera shoots. And, with its customizable open-architecture approach, selectable frame rates and multiple output options, you've got exactly the right tool -- every time. The XL H1 features total Cine control, customizable settings and a well-balanced design -- for the creative control, flexibility and advanced capability your video work demands.
