I hope that this is not off subject. I think it relates directly to the operation of the XL1 / XL1S. I guess it is a quality question. What kind of work are you using your cameras for. You don't have to give away any secrets. Features, direct to tape, TV, cable, etc.??

Paul, do a search on uses, as there is quite a large thread on this already

Also, see the forum "These Are the People in Your Neighborhood" -- I set it up specifically so we could all tell each other about the different sorts of things we're doing with Digital Video and these amazing cameras.

Thank you for your responses. I will do that.
