I am pleased to announce that after careful thought and the help from you guys here, I have bought an XL-2. I have already shot two events with it with 5 more sloted this month. And so far I love it. Basicaly I thought of it this way, I love the XL-1S and know it better than the Panasonic, I do want to do movies here in the near future, I will be making back the money between now and December, and it just flat out looks cool. (That last one is just my opinion) But I wanted to thank all of you, especially Rob L, for helping with my decision. I am pleased with it and it gives me a new sence of confidence as well. Thank again.

I'm glad to hear you are happy with your camera Clint. Good luck
with it and all your projects!
