Canon introduces the XL H1S and XL H1A high definition digital camcorders. They have three 1/3 inch, 1.67 Megapixel CCD Image Sensors and Canon’s 20x HD video zoom lens and are powered by Canon’s DIGIC DVII HD Image Processor.

You can expected Canon’s XL interchangeable lens system and SuperRange optical image stabilization system.

Both camcorders have six-pin IEEE 1394 port and the XL H1S model provides expanded connectivity by incorporating HD-SDI (SMPTE 299M)/SD-SDI (SMPTE272M) output with embedded audio and time code, providing a raw, uncompressed 1.485 Gbps signal for demanding live production environments, SMPTE Time Code input and output terminals, and a Genlock output terminal for multi-camera shooting situations.
