Panasonic DVX100B vs Canon XL2

Ya know... there's certain points where each camera shine's. It really depends on what you'll be using it for. I have one of each, because I do a lot of weddings and love the 20X zoom on the canon, and then I have my panny on the closer shot. I do music vids and short films, and almost always use the dvx because (in my mind) it looks a little better, or "filmlike". One big downside for me with the dvx, is it does not have native 16:9, and the XL2 does. That lead me to shoot with the XL on my last short because I think it really called for 16:9, and I didn't want to lose resolution going with the DVX and squeeze.

Yes, this question has been asked a hundred times before.... use your search and search for all sorts of key words regarding the XL2, think about what settings are most important to you (what you'll be shooting, etc.), and narrow it down that way.

Hope that helps ease the decision a bit.
