Canon takes its "No Compromise" attitude up a notch with the XL2 digital camcorder. This 3CCD unit is packed with features for the professional or advanced hobbyist. What makes Canon's XL system stand out from all the others is the interchangeable lens system. There are four XL system lenses plus an adapter that lets you use the entire range of Canon photographic lenses. If that wasn't enough Cine quality lenses are available from major lens manufacturers.
In a good movie the picture is only part of the experience. The XL2 has two XLR connections for 4 channels of audio. Phantom power is available for condenser microphones. SMPTE time coding and color bars let you do precise audio and video edits to give your movie the look you want.
Canon has included a full range of connection options including S-Video, RCA and BNC. A LANC terminal lets you hook the camera directly to compatible editing equipment. The advanced accessory shoe will power and communicate with multiple accessories like VL-3 video light and DM-50 directional microphone. Just slide them into the shoe and go, no external wires or cables are needed.

3-CCD PerformanceThe Canon XL2's 3-CCD system delivers higher resolution for outstanding picture quality, highly accurate color reproduction and a wide dynamic range with virtually no color noise. The three CCD image sensors are specifically designed to capture as much image detail as possible, making it a consummate field recording device for all conditions, no matter in super low light or under extremely bright conditions.
Dual Aspect Ratio Shooting FormatsCanon's XL2 offers both the standard 4:3 aspect ratio and the 16:9 widescreen TV aspect ratio. Whether your production is standard video, cinema, wide-screen TV, or HDTV, the XL2 with menu-selectable aspect ratios is the camera for you.
XL Mount Interchangeable Lens SystemAs the only MiniDV format camcorder with XL Mount Interchangeable Lens System, the XL2 offers users the ability to change lenses including the XL series of video lenses (the new 20x OIS, 16x OIS, 16x Manual, and 3x Wide), third-party cine lenses, and Canon's extensive range of photographic lenses ( with an XL system adapter).
Fluorite Zoom LensCanon's new 20X Professional L-Series Fluorite optical zoom lens for the XL2 uses fluorite to defeat color aberration effect that causes a reduction in sharpness, contrast and color. It precisely controls components of light, providing an excellent balance of these three critical ingredients of picture quality. The unsurpassed image quality is unobtainable with conventional optical glass.
Super-Range Optical Image StabilizationCanon's Super-Range Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system (VAP type) corrects various camcorder motions including fast vibrations when recording from inside a moving car, medium-speed motions from hand-held recording and the slower motions of body sway. No matter what you're recording and how you're recording it, the XL2's image stabilization corrects camcorder shake instantly.
