Building on the image quality of the award winning XL H1 model, the XH G1 High Definition video camera features three 1/3 inch native 16:9 1440 x 1080 CCDs with pixel shift technology to capture HD video at 1080i resolution. The genuine Canon 20x zoom Fluorite and UD lens with 'Super Range Optical Image Stabiliser' and 'Instant AF' autofocus is developed specifically for the optical demands of High Definition capture. Meanwhile, the Canon DiG!C DVII processor takes care of the huge data processing requirements that HD shooting demands.
