Canon XL2
Comments:
XL1 owners have been asking for the XL2 for some years. 2001's XL1s was a comparatively minor upgrade. In the lifetime of the XL1 and XL1s we've seen the arrival of camcorders styled after broadcast rigs, and a multiplicity of features aimed at low-budget
Review Verdict: Though the connections between the components that make up the XL2 are the same as the XL1 - so all of your old accessories will still work - the ergonomics of the standard set-up are much improved. The XL1 is front-heavy, thanks to the large 16x zoom len

QuickTake:
Pros: Excellent lens. Better balanced than the XL1/XL1s. Great widescreen capture. Huge range of accessories. High level of manual control. Progressive capture with film-style gamma curve.
Cons: Expensive. LCD screen poor. Viewfinder unbalanced. No markings on lens.

Designwise there is little question that the new XL2 shows its common heritage with the previous models. It's on the test bench the dramatic changes in image processing and overall performance become clear

Review Verdict: The XL2 was with me for too short a period of time, and I was sorry that it had to be returned to Canon so soon after receiving it. In our short time together, I had come to appreciate the high quality of the images it produces. Even in its normal setting
