Title of review Professional
What are the strengths? It is simply amazing. This camcorder had great video quality, great accessories, and gives very clear pictures and sharp images. The camcorder shoots great under any condition. It is simply stunning.
What are the weaknesses? Its pretty expensive. But it is worth every dime you pay for it.
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.

Title of review Good, and it shows!!
What are the strengths? It has good video quality. It also has really good DV imagery. It has interchangeable lenses. It also works well with most XL1 accessories.
What are the weaknesses? It does not have a flip out LCD display.
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.

Title of review Works Well
What are the strengths? This cam is very good. It has absolutely amazing DV images and. It is compatible with most of the lenses and accessories used by Canon XL1. It has interchangable lenses.
What are the weaknesses? Costs more than some of its competitors. Doesnt have a flip out LCD monitor.
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.

Title of review Almost Perfect
What are the strengths? This cam has excellent DV imagery and controls. It also has interchangeable lenses. It has16:9 native capture and better image control menus.
What are the weaknesses? The LCD monitor does not flip out.
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.
