Top Reviews  Canon XL series camcorders are absolutely the best!Review created: 06/01/06 by:  8 of 8 people found this review helpful. I own more than two dozen (24) Canon camcorders! As a professional I have the choice of which camcorder to use, yet I only own Canon. The interchangeable lenses are perfect for swapping out for different filming conditions. The footage is absolutely stunning. I use mostly XL2 and XL1s.

Report this review best camera of its classReview created: 04/15/06 by: kpolosajian ( 9 ) 4 of 5 people found this review helpful. I have had this kind of a camera for years now and it still works like a charm. I even shot a feature film using this camera and sold it to a company called SAPRTAN Home Video (company who distributed Momento). The camera is good ebcause of its versatility; i.e. lenss, zoom, tape efficiency and its light. I recommend this camera. It was good enough for me to buy one more. You gotta know how to us ethis camera, then it becomes a monster. KP Review ID: 10000000000873395 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Sturdy but overpriced.Review created: 12/04/05 5 of 9 people found this review helpful. It takes miniDV tapes. On extended play you get no more than 120 minutes, and those tapes are fragile. I use my XL1 for professional use, and find you have to change tapes for long productions. You HAVE to make sure the inner bay door is closed first, or the tape does not engage. Manual focus is a tricky art with this camera. Lots to master on it. It is sturdy and heavy. It seems to drain battery life quickly. I really feel it is overpriced. Review ID: 10000000000086823 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews I recommend it!I shoot my commercials with the Canon XL1. It has been dependable and durable. You can't go wrong whether you're an amateur or professional, you still get great qualitative footage good enough for television. I bought it because it delivers footage what I need to accomplish on my projects, even the top producers can't tell. The only qualm I have about it that the battery life quickly runs down.

Report this review Simply the bestReview created: 05/07/08 by: captkchicks ( 3 ) This is a superior cam that takes a beating and just keeps on working. Canon has made this camera for years and is the professionals favorite. The biggest flaw is that there is no flip out screen to view or shoot and so a secondary monitor becomes a required piece of extra gear... the XL1 and XL1s are essentially the same cam except the XL1s is newer and has better audio. Does not shoot well indoors or low light conditions but outdoors the colors and clarity are excellent. Bottom Line: This is a popular cam because its a great cam Review ID: 10000000007039262 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
