  He commented on Canon XH-A1 Custom Preset Movie

  I got an suggestion for the next version: Make a movie with skintones and use all the new presets (more than 40).
  
  Right now my camera is away for repairs (I almost lost my firewire port last year and I decided that it was time to bring it to a repair centre so I can pick it up after our vacation).
  After our vacation I also switch to Apple Pro (with Final Cut) and I'm planning to go for another extra 100% on the next version of the preset movie.
  
  Any EXTRA suggestions are very welcome!!

  12 Hours of waiting and then run in to a National computer network which does not work so nobody can use their brand new iPhone. Now that is what I call NEWS!
  
  P.S. I hope you got your phone working Rick.

  Jan, I was wondering:
  If you have a real paying customer who expects a great steady online video of his product, artist or anything else.
  What would you tell the customer when turning up at his place with the little camera?
  I know you have a professional reputation and I would like to see how you sell the product.
  
  P.S. I got the point you made with the whole discussion. But, I'm interested :-)

  Hello Jan,
  
  Yes, a tri-pod is a 'bit' to big for these situations. But, for instance: the Manfrotto 585 Modosteady is a very small, cheap and stable tool for small camera's.
  You can use it as a steadycam tool, on your shoulder and 'table' tri-pod.
  In situations for low shots, walking shots, 'fast people passing you' shots I think this tool is ideal.
  
  The only thing you have to say is: Cheese! :-) :-) :-)

  The video looks good. But, red and blue are a bit strong in the picture. Using a monopod or a Manfrotto steadycam some of the picture would have been a bit less shaken.
  
  With camera's like the XH-A1, EX1, EX3 and FX7 there is more controll with Depth Of Field (and many other things), so in some of the recordings you could have used a bit more accent on a person or an object. The cameraman can 'play' with his pictures and that's why some people buy bigger camera's.
  
  Looking at the main goal of the whole movie: Making a promotional movie. The small camera will do fine.
  Stabilise the hand or the camera a bit more and it's perfect for online video.

  Although this video is not created with an XH-A1 it carries a very important and scary message for people all over the world. Jan van der Meer made a shocking video about the last days of many species that live in Indonesia and Malaysia.
