Standard Definition doesn't get much better
The Canon XL2 is as good as the Panasonic equivalent. Both of these cameras are better than eachother depending on who you ask. If you ask me, the Canon's picture is more pleasing, less noisy, and more capable in difficult shooting situations. I love Canon's controls, everything you need is available without searching through menus. The Panasonic is lighter, less awkward to use, and more compact; but Canon's lens and features more than make up for it in my opinion. Best camera you can get for the...

Okay for the 60i
I'm a non-byist consumer; and ex-owner of the XL1 and XL1S.We recently "upgraded" to the XL2 for an upcoming film shoot.BAD NEWS. The camera's we ordered both came "defective", according to Canon tech support (they were drop shipped from their facility brand new - and NOT black market). Now, I find this hard to believe, and I think the issues are with the computer which controls output for the camera.In 30P mode, any vertical lines flicker/pixelate, and images blur as they move past the camera ...

Heavy and image quality not as good as i thought
I looked at this and the DVX100. I plumped for this because it had better low light support and interchangeable lens.PLUS: Its beautifully and solidly made and the delivered lens is amazingFor frames without moving components the image is immaculate.The sound is great.It looks cool.MINUS:Its heavy and big . Needs a strong tripod and a big dry cabinet.The remote zoom only has one speed and you cant change it. If you dont have a really big sturdy tripod the camera will shake if you touch it particularly...

Good thing I read the reviews.
Had I not read all your reviews, I would have been the unhappy victim of fraud. Everything was going great until I was asked to Western Union the $700 to Rome, Italy. Even though the product supposedly ships from New York. Thanks to all of you who posted your warnings. Another type of scam I encountered was the guy who listed a used one for $200. Then when I because interested, the price was $2,000 because he "listed it wrong." Watch out!...

The real story from someone who uses the camera
O.K. I have been taking a beating from camera rental houses this past year, so when I needed to finish a project that was dragging on and forcing me too shoot on many different days, I said "what the heck", and put down the money for the XL2.I was a reluctant buyer not excited at all about buying a DV camera.I was ready to be disappointed by another crappy and expensive DV camera.Two months later, I'm glad I bought it, and I'd say that it is the best prosumer DV camera out there, period.Here are...
