With an increasing consumer shift towards widescreen TVs that deliver the full width of film-based theatrical movies, plus the resulting need for productions in the 16:9 aspect ratio, Canon's XL2 offers both the standard 4:3 aspect ratio and the 16:9 widescreen TV aspect ratio. Representing the ratio of the screen width to its height, the 4:3 aspec ...[ More]

Comments: Try ordering a pro-sumer camcorder from the internet and all you mostly see is everyone from Brooklyn New York selling all theirs at half the price only to find out when you give them your credit card they call back and push accessories at 500% above retail. Once you agree and pay, your cost is twice as much as the advertised price for a camcorder. If you decline these accessorie...

Perfect for Low-Budget Feature Films!
 
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Amazing video quality

Massive Onslaught of Professional Features on-board.

On-board Directional Mic.

72mm Lens!

Cons: Being the Directional Mic is attached to the camera itself...you will have to constantly remind the heavy breather type camera-men to keep their lungs silent.
If you have to money (and sound people), detach the direction mic altogether a...

Good camera, but not the best.
 
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: Interchangeable lens system, sturdy camera, 4 audio channels, decent factory lens, native 16:9 ccd's (can bump footage STRAIGHT to film), 24p, ergonomics.

Cons: A bit heavy for holding them camera by the handle (just use is shoulder mounted most of the time), interchangeable lens system, expensive, stock lens (20x) is kind of poor for wide angle usage.

Pros: lenesInterchangeable lenses, Image control, 4 audio channels

Cons: Size, Cost, Ergonomics are a little strange, can’t adjust shoulder rest.

Just the ticket
 
Easy to use. Three days out of the box and we were recording our first special event on the job. The 20x zoom lens worked out perfectly for our large event room. Was able to get clear closeups when needed without interfering with the speaker or the audience. Tied-in with our existing sound system via the XLR jacks.

great camera
 
Great camera the picture quality is great. The controls are very easy to find and use. the amount of audio controls and what you can do with it is increadble. the only probelm (if you could call it that) is the mic that it comes with has a tin sound to it. but it sounds great with a better mic.

Pros: Great Look, Awesome controls, Awesome Picture, True 16.9, Plenty opps. & I could go on and on

Cons: 5.5Lux, it should be around at least 3.0, a vew people don't like this camera because it does not have a pop out LCD screen. This is fine with me. because if you use a good glidecam, it's best to add the extra mon., on the harness. so...
