I’ve got an XH-A1. Terrific camcorder. As the previous poster says, the lens is spectacular and that’s your quality right there. If I’m not mistaken, they used this camera as the main camera for the movie Crank 2.
XL H1 is similar, a little more expensive but it has interchangeable lenses.
I learned a bit about the lenses online through this video:
