Summary
This camcorder is a pleasure to use. You'll be proud to claim that you have used this camcorder and that you have comeout with such great videos. It is expensive but it is worth it. I would suggest that anyone who is in two minds about this camcorder just needs to use it once to know how good it is. And those who dont have this camcorder dont know what they are missing out on.

Good, and it shows!!
Summary
Canon is one of the most trusted names in the camera business. Their cam's always work wonderfully, and this camcorder is no different. It has a great video quality. Also has a good DV imagery. It is ideal for those who previously owned a Canon XL1, because this cam works extrememly well with all the XL1 accessories. The only problem i noticed about his cam is that it doesnt have a LCD display that flips out.

Works Well
Summary
One of my friends has the Canon XL1, so i use some of his accessories and lenses with my XL2. I must say, it works beautifully!! This camera gives a good images quality. The only problem with it is that it does not have a flip out LCD monitor. Canon has been a name to reckon with in the camera field for years. So, i knew i was buying a good camera when i picked this one up. And so far i havent been proved wrong. It has worked well for me till now, and am sure it will do so later on also.

Almost Perfect
Summary
Canon XL2 is an upgrade to the already brillaint Canon XL1. Some of my friends suggested i buy this cam, and i took their advice. I like this cam. The only problem i've faced is that, the handycam doesnt have a LCD monitor that flips out. But thats ok. It does cost more than other camcorders, but then i'd been saving up for years to buy one. Anyway, this is a good cam, and Canon is a trusted name.
