The real story from someone who uses the camera By Douglas H.
Hunter O. 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 some of the positives and negatives about the camera based on experience. Especially the DSR , and The Sony image is always funky, the interlacing is always visible specifically in details like hair and what not.
Even with all the menus set properly by a great DP the Sony cameras always have a very hard and interlaced look. Even When shooting in 60i mode The XL2 does not have this and it handles fine details better than the Sony cameras I am used to. If you have shot on the Panasonic DVXa you will really enjoy how the canon is laid out, you don't have to go deep into the menus for every shot on the XL2.
The one really bad decision was putting the film grain and color bars on the same button. THAT was a mistake. Why they hell does this camera have a film grain button anyway? For anyone who knows how those BNC to RCA adopters tend to fall off or get lost its about time that a pro-sumer camera included this simple thing for people who use an external monitor.
I won't try to tell you that they aren't a "toy" But they do actually work! Which is a great surprise. I have used the camera on sets and on outdoor documentary sports shoots. I find than things like the black stretch and the knee work and are helpful, they are not like what you find on a Beta camera for example but they are a lot better than what else you can find for the money.
For Consumers: This camera comes with a lot of features that you won't use if you are a point and shoot, "Let the camera do it for me" kind of person. However, if you are willing to learn or interested in videography, you will find these features interesting and with a little practice down right useful.

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 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. The aspect ratio is the most common aspect ratio for film-based movies, and produces full screen playback on widescreen TVs. Variable frame rates.
The ND filter swings into position with a satisfying click, and the stabilizer and autofocus controls are solid and conveniently placed. Oversize CCDs are commonly used for still images in most modern camcorders, but are used in the XL2 for widescreen shooting. The results are wonderful and the anamorphic video squashed into the DV format looks great on a widescreen TV or when authored to a widescreen DVD.
Although it would be a waste to keep the camera in auto mode, it is possible to pick it up and fire away with excellent results.
The auto focus had a hard time with slow shutter speeds e. Conveniences like variable zebra stripes, a simple exposure meter on the LCD and red gain warning LEDs just below the viewfinder were truly useful when shooting. This may seem like a minor new feature to those of you who have never used an XL1 before, but we love it.
Incidentally, this is a big camera with a lot going on: we found that the BP battery the same as the XL1 lasted about an hour, but only took an hour to recharge.
With all the imaging glitz, we almost forgot to look at the audio. Our second favorite usability improvement to the Canon camcorder is the smaller and included XLR adapter on the back. With 48V phantom power and built-in attenuation, the XL2 is ready for your microphones right out of the box. The camera also has a novel use for the bit audio mode of the DV format.
Instead of just using the four possible channels as a dubbing tool, with an adapter the XL2 will actually allow you to connect four microphones at once and mix each of them right on the Canon camcorder, each with individual gain controls. One of the buzzy aspects of the XL2 is sure to be the variable frame rate, in particular the 24p mode.
