I've also had great results in low light...that's the big positive in the XL2 - it can be "tweaked" and adjusted to your own requirements and filming goals. And the fact that different lenses and even my favourite Nikkors can used on the XL2 body makes it a huge bonus.

One of the biggest problems I've found with the XL2 is not having true "locks" on some of the external knobs, such as the 4:3 to 16:9 knob and the +- metering adjuster - both of these should be able to be locked...as I've often knocked off the 16:9 widescreen button by mistake when inside an underwater housing, and then not realised that it was still on 4:3 after I'd taken it back out for normal shooting! I've seriously thought about super-gluing the 16:9/4:3 adjuster!
