Summary: How long is it going to take Sony and Panasonic to think of Inter-changable lenses? Is this such a hard theory? If you are an artist and you want to make a real independent film on a budget this is the camera for you. You simply can't do on a Panasonic or Sony what you can do with the XL2. I do work in the industry and wouldn't buy one of these HI-Def cameras right now, its not worth it! Let the other faulter and fail while Canon makes a Canon XL3 that is HI-DEF. For now this Camera is the only thing you need. Forget Sony and Panasonic they are behind the times and just trying to sell you anything that says HI-DEF at the moment!!!

- Description: The Canon XL2 allows you to capture images closer to the finished product than ever before. Work that previously was limited to post-production can be simply and effectively accomplished in the field, in the camcorder. An Open Architecture philosophy, performance found only in much more expensive video cameras, Total Image Control and the solid foundation of Genuine Canon Optics, interchangeable lens capability and superb Canon image processing quality are united in the XL2. The XL2 brings a host of performance and convenience features to this class of video camcorder- benefits that can't be found in this combination on other high-end video cameras. They include: Canon Super Range Optical Image Stabilization in the standard lens; dual aspect ratios; various frame rate capabilities; image gamma and detail controls; skin detail control and convertible LCD display and among others. Unprecedented image control coordination between two XL2 cameras, remote computer camera control and direct video recording to computer are just a part of the capabilities of the XL2. Never before has so much creative power been put in the hands of the film maker, video artist, and corporate and event videographer.
