The XH-A1 came out a couple of years ago! The HDR-FX1000E has only just been released.

Another fine review James, you clearly know your stuff.
This one is not really a good fit for me or for my wallet. But I wonder if you can help?....What I really need is a camera capable of filming HD quality footage, sometimes in very low light levels and with little or no actual operating by the user. Ideally it needs to be small too, you know the sort of thing that could go unnoticed in a wardrobe.

@TheMonkeyHead Thanks for the kind words! However, you're worrying me a little. Are you after some kind of spycam? I'm not sure any mainstream camcorder offers truly operator-free function. What are you trying to record, and what's your budget?

@JamesMorris An internet 'friend' also suggested that a spycam may suit my needs. While that would certainly tick one box, I really seek a dual purpose machine (i.e. I want something that I can also film family excursions with). No need to be apprehensive about my other intended use, I merely hanker after some concealed camera wildlife action. Budget wise I am probably thinking somewhere between a monkey and a gorilla. what do you think?

Wait a second...if the Canon XH-A1 is a better value with XLR, why not do a review on that? The Canon XH-A1 was also referenced in the Canon HV20 review link: http://www.trustedreviews.com/camcorders/review/2007/08/04/Canon-HV20-HDV-Camcorder/p3
