You guys think this will be much more expensive than the DVX? How much was the XL-1 when it first came out? If their both the same price new, I think ill still pick up a used dvx...

The $4999 surprises me in that it is not competitive in that $3000 Prosumer category. I'm sure you'll be able to get it for less. (The DVx100a is listing for $3,479.95 currently) and when I bought my DVX I paid $3200 out the door.
Yeah, $5000 seems a bit much. But hey! You can interchange lenses. :P

I can't remember what the DVX MSRP was when it came out, but I remember when I bought my VX-1000, I got it as soon as the boat hit the dock, and paid close to $4,500 for it. The price of the VX-1000 stayed pretty firm for a few years with the lack of competition. With the Canon XL2, I believe that the price should be $4,500. I think they want to stay with in striking distance of the DVX.

But you spend all your money on the cam!

The DVX100, when it was initially announced, carried an MSRP of $3495. Before it was even released they'd raised the price to $3795. Street price hovered around $3200.
The 100A carries an MSRP of $3995, and a street price of about $3400.
The XL2 will probably hover at or around its $4999 price for a while, as 7 years of pent-up demand get satisfied. I wouldn't expect it to go below $4800 for quite a while (although I'm sure Royal Cameras and 5 Stars Electronics will be advertising it for $2899 or something equally ridiculous!)
