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 among others.

Comments about Canon XL2 3CCD Mini Dv Camcorder:
This is an excellent choice for video. It has many advanced features that are especially useful for making a quality wedding video, corporate training film, documentary. It is one of the most sought after for independent film production because of the advanced features that simulate true film footage. The only con is a trade off that's worth it. It is really front heavy. But that is because the optical stabilizer is built into the lens. I use it a lot on a good tripod so it's not a problem. The image quality and color reproduction is great.
