1.0 out of 5 stars Or just read the manual....., March 31, 2009

This review is from: Vasst Training DVD: "Inside the Canon XHA1 and XHG1 Camcorders" - by Donald and Daniel Berube, & Douglas S. Eagle (Electronics)

I did not enjoy this DVD at all. The first two guys explaining the camera, look at the device as if it is the first time they see it (and pointing at the buttons, oh look! this is the on button).
The second guy is much better. Only he does not reveal any "secrets" at all. It is all in the manual you got with the camera. Unless you are a lazy rich kid who bought the camera and has no idea what kind of camera you got, and do not like to read, this can be an interesting DVD. But if you, like me, bought the camera because you love all the features, and have read the manual, the DVD is useless.

I only wish i had found this dvd sooner. I must say that it starts out a little slow, but after the first two guys pass it on it gets great. The information that you get from this dvd for the camera is priceless. Douglas puts forward so much professionalism that i needed to pause and take notes. These cameras have so many settings and controls that you should go to school for them. This dvd does that for you in your home. I highly recommend this dvd for amatuers and pros alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Canon XH A1 Vasst Training DVD... Novice or Well Informed?, May 9, 2008

This review is from: Vasst Training DVD: "Inside the Canon XHA1 and XHG1 Camcorders" - by Donald and Daniel Berube, & Douglas S. Eagle (Electronics)

This DVD doesn't rate a five because it is not for the novice. Jargon words were mentioned quickly like I'm supposed to know what they mean, however, if you are into photography, and understand, White Balance, F-Stops, and all the basic stuff they blew by, then this information is for you.

It doesn't rate a 3 star because there is sufficent advanced information for me to learn how to use the in depth camera menu information. This is important if you intend to use this camera as a pro. Should you buy it as instead of to the Elite DVD, YES, if you want more indepth advanced information on this Canon XHA1 and XHG1.

I will need to view the DVD at least a dozen times to grasp the advanced concepts. This is far better than the manual that came with the video camera.

Because I am such a novice, I will also purchase the other Elite DVD, because reviews stated they were to basic, and this may be just what I need.
