As mentioned above, the Canon XH-A1 set in 24f mode does excellent shot off screen transfers. One thing I found was that I got better overall contrast with some low ambient light near the screen. Total darkness in the room caused whites to be blown out. If you go to YouTube and search McDonald's Setmakers 1972 that's one I did with a Pageant and the Canon in my living room. (Yes it's a Kodachrome print hence the nice color).
