PLEASE NOTE: This auction is a relisted auction due to the fact that the guy who won the last auction was a scam artist based in Nigeria and is no longer a registered member under the moniker that he used for the auction. If you happen to be a scam artist then please don't waste your time trying to steal my camcorder. You won't get it. To everybody else, hello and thanks for reading. Let's try again!

The Canon XH A1 is a superb prosumer 3-CCD HDV camcorder and a perfect choice for the serious film-maker, delivering stunning results with a comprehensively generous set of manual controls. It has a 20x lens, records HDV (1080/50i) and DV video to Mini DV tape and photographs to memory card, and boasts superb auto focussing and image stability and a pair of XLR input terminals for third-party microphones.

I bought mine in 2007 for £2,500 and have shot approximately 80 hours of footage with it. It has just returned from a full service at Canon after I sent it back to have two things repaired: a broken LCD screen (the original became mottled after it was left too long sitting directly under a lamp) and a slight muffling of the sound (the microphone was knocked during a shoot). After inspection the following components were replaced by Canon:

- Tape mechanism

- LCD screen

- Microphone fixing assembly

- Handle top assembly

The unit was then cleaned fully throughout, checked and tested, and it now carries a six-month guarantee from Canon, as of 13th October 2009.

I am selling it because I have recently replaced it with a Sony XR520VE Handycam, whose smaller size and automated controls are better suited to my type of shoot.

This camcorder is being auctioned with all the accessories that were supplied with it (including the remote control), plus the following items:

- 1 four-hour battery

- 1 Firewire lead (for connection to a computer)

- 2 Mini DV blank tapes

I will be happy for the winning bidder to pick the camcorder up from my flat in Stepney, East London, if he / she wishes to.

Please note that this auction is only open to residents of the United Kingdom.
