Any > you avoid like the plague? I haven't got much experience with cam coders. I own a couple Canon XL1 cameras which are pretty cheap. They use tiny screws that set into plastic in the lense mounts. One drop and the lense is shot. Definitely a cheap product with piss poor engineering. The newer lenses I've been told have been improved. The XL1 is suitable for producing good looking digital video product and it's a good camera for anyone that takes care of their gear. The cameras we run at the television studio are in an entirely different league of expense and quality. ron > -- > Eric Dantan Rzewnicki > Apprentice Linux Audio Developer and Mostly Harmless > Sysadmin > (text below this line mandated by management) > Technical Operations Division | Radio Free Asia > 2025 M Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 | > 202-530-4900 > CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION > This e-mail message is intended only for the use of > the addressee and > may contain information that is privileged and > confidential.
