If I were you, I'd wait for the reviews before investing sooo much money on the XL-2.

But we knew the Xl2 was going to be expensive from the first day we heard of it. Did you sell your Xl1s before or after that.

If those prices are too high, then your answer is simple: NO

If you can afford it then it's simple too: YES

If you're of the "DVX or Xl2" then it's still simple.
- Want the wank factor:Get the Xl2
- Don't care about the wank factor: Get the DVX

I wonder what a "wank factor" is!!!

[Aaron Koolen]

If you're from the US you might not get it. It's closest equivalent is
"Masturbatory factor"

I vote that you buy it and then do a bunch of sample footage which you will post on a server for the rest of us to download. :)
