Here's the canon link from the dead thread.
http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/con...;modelid=10350

I saw "Variable frame rates" and thought overcranking! But that's not what they meant.

its funny in the add on the Canon web page they have XL2's running around doing commercials, weddings etc. I can' believe they got all those guys to shut up for so long.

Maybe that charcoal gray thing I saw a little while ago WAS an XL2 . . .

Hey, isn't that a pal XL-2?

Somehow, I like the look of the XL-1 better, and frankly, I dont want something so big that it needs a shoulder support.
I'll keep the DVX, thanks.

That's sweet, I remember just like many stories I come across waiting for nab to come and go before running out for my dvx, checking all the tips and posts, but nothing about a new camera. oh well, the only thing that makes the xl2 a sweeter setup over the dvx is the interchangable lenses which lots of xl1 users will love, and the high resolution it 16/9 there site say's 960/480p where I think the dvx is 720/360 or something, I doubt the average person will notice and I bet it'll be a couple grand more than the dvx which would give you the extra bucks for an anamorphic lens. I' dont think that I'll be rushing out to sell my dvx anytime soon

Nick Adams is that your real name... or is it from the Hemingway's Nick Adams short stories :

The canon is 720X480 scaled down from 960X480. The dvx is 720X480 scaled UP from 720X360. I don't see what good scaling down from 960X480 does, but it's provided a lot of marketing hype already. That said, the xl2 probably does provide a considerably sharper image in widescreen mode.
