The Canon XH-A1 Underwater Camcorder Kit features the XH-A1 3CCD 1080i HDV Camcorder. This camera is geared towards the videographer on a budget who isn't willing to compromise any of the professional attributes of its big brother. With the same high quality 1/3" CCDs, the camera yields an image both crisp and noise-free. The solid feeling is instantly apparent when operating the XH-A1; despite its modest frame, the camera performs like a pro!
Utilizing the highly efficient HDV compression format allows over an hour of high definition recording on a single miniDV tape! Featuring a 20x fluorite fixed lens, its superior optics gives professional level shooters ultimate image fidelity unmatched by the competition. Also included is the Instant AF auto-focus system, incorporating technology that helps reduce auto focus reaction time while increasing overall accuracy.
The Kit also includes the Equinox Pro 10 Mechanical Underwater Housing, designed for the Canon XH-A1 camcorder. Constructed with rugged and durable PVC material, with one-inch cast-acrylic faceplates and stainless-steel hardware. These materials help prevent corrosion.
