The Image Quality of High Definition

a true 16:9 widescreen HD image that is made for your HD broadcast and

Genuine Canon HD Zoom Lens
The XH A1 comes with a Genuine Canon 20x HD zoom lens that shows why
the name Canon is synonymous with optical excellence. This Professional
L Series Fluorite lens ensures outstanding resolution, contrast and
color reproduction, and delivers clarity and image quality you won't
see with conventional optical glass lenses.
3 CCD Performance
The XH A1 is equipped with three 1/3" Native 16:9 CCDs (1.67
Megapixels), delivering outstanding picture quality, highly accurate
color reproduction, and a wide dynamic range with virtually no color
noise.
Super-Range Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon's innovative Super-Range OIS combines gyro- and image-sensors to
correct camcorder shake instantly - whether it's the fast vibration
you'd experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed
motion of hand-held recording; or the slower motion of body sway.
Instant AF
With HD, focus is more critical than ever. Instant AF is the next
generation of auto focus, designed with HD resolution in mind. It
combines an external AF sensor with Canon's legendary auto focus system
for fast and accurate focus. Together, the two sensors reduce focusing
time - even in low-light situations - and improve focusing performance
on difficult subjects.

signal processing technology. Designed specifically for HD, DIGIC DV II

also employs a hybrid noise reduction system that integrates two types
of noise reduction, for high definition images that are crystal clear.
