I'd have to agree with some of the guys above: it sounds like you just want
to be talked into
the XL-2.

I'm sure it's a pretty good rig --- and you have a few more options using
interchangeable lensesand true 16x9.
I sure hope canon fixed the soft-focus problems that plagued the XL-1 and
XL-1S .
That said -- I prefer PD-150's and PD-170's --- not as sexy but superior
low-light quality and I dig that
sony look ---- and it matches my 300A and to some extent my 600.

I think that these small DV cameras have legit applications and there are
dozens of TV shows and movies that utilize PD cameras and DVX100's as well.
It's a load of bollocks so say that DV and DVCAM are outdated -
compared to HDV

Z1U's are pretty cool -- but they are LIMITED by weaknesses --- like (in the
US 30fps, soft looking DV, crappy low-light abilities and digital artifacts
with camera motion and certain compositions--- I'm waiting for a Z1U B or C
model

Manufacturers are pushing HDV ---- let's wait and see what happens --- I
need a small camera that I can depend on in ANY situation --- my DVX100A and
my VX2000 still make beautiful video
