Re: XL2 first real life impression
Nice footage.
not to rehash what Johnnie and Bill asked about but...
... what would the same/similar footage look like from a DVX perspective -- with audio from the built-in mic (both cameras)?
The music is good but it's distracting. sry
Seeing what these cameras can do from their base standards is a must.

Re: XL2 first real life impression
The angry guest poster did make a good point about the size of the XL2. People are saying that it's too big. I say, not for a shoulder mount PLUS how many DVX users are walking around with a DVRigPro looking like a cyborg or something, lol.
BTW, Michael Moore fat jokes, especially when politically motivated, are sad, pathetic and low brow. If you disagree with someone, don't make fun of their health or physical appearance. Dennis Miller did a Michael Moore fat joke on his CNBC show the other day and I'm just like, "dude why go there unless you're desperate".

Yeah, but Jay Leno goes after everyone without having a political agenda.
I think it must take a lot of guts (no pun intended) to be a fat celebrity and I admire people who don't rely on their looks to get ahead.

So Tony when are you getting your Xl2?

Re: XL2 first real life impression
Guess it depends on what or whom you consider a celebrity? Of course, politics has nothing to do with cameras so I'll just leave it at that. We all know where political conversations on these types of forums end up...

Who says I've made up my mind?
Yeah, I pretty much have. There's no way that this camera is going to suck. People say, "wait til other people get it so you'll know if there's something wrong with it". I'm saying right now that there's no way Canon would screw up something this important. You're not going to get a perfect camera for 5K, but you're going to get your money's worth. That's fo sho.
I'm still trying to figure out a way that I can afford/justify it. I also want the new Canon 20D with one of the new EF-S lenses and that's another 2K that I don't have. I've spent a shitload of money this year... ordered a Magiqcam a month ago and haven't got it yet. It may be a year before I get to hold one of these puppys. Until I can afford it, I think I'm going to get the DVC60 when it comes out, unless I come into some money... Ok, thinking out loud now.

>>>Yeah, I pretty much have. There's no way that this camera is going to suck. <<<
Just hope that it does not have the same problems I had with my GL1 or my friends XL1 & XL1S. Was in the shop more than in my hands. I eventually sold it (bought a VX2000, actually a couple of them).
But to be fair, my first DVX100A came with a bad LCD. And my DVC200 had to be sent in after 9 months for a bad/hot pixel.
I hope it does not "suck". New solid technology is good for all of us.

If I were you, I'd start looking for the gypsy that cursed you ;D
I guess I'm lucky, but I've never had any problems like that.

Re: XL2 first real life impression
True. I also was the one that blew up a nice 7" Panny LCD trying to use a 12v battery brick rather than on-cam battery (Anton Bauer). Still not sure how that happened. DOH!!!
Funny thing.. I have had 2 VX2000's for over 3 years now.. Used extensively (more than my DVC and DVX combined). Absolutely zero problems with the Sony's. Knock on wood. I still love the Panny's. Each tool has it's own strength. I am just glad I am lucky enough to own them.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Not to thread-jack or anything... but Tony_H:
I expect to see a very thorough report about the magiqcam once you've put it through the paces.
Pretty please.
