Rating : - Canon XH A1 Vasst Training DVD... Novice or Well Informed?
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.
