Where can I see some XL2 comparison images?
I would love to see some images taken with the XL2 compared with images taken by other cameras of the same thing. Low light, telephoto, etc. Is there a good place to see such things? I've Googled and found only one, on a DVX100a site that was (obviously) favoring the DVX100a.

I would be interested in seeing the results of someone actually taking the time to compile this info. I think it would be a great resource for anyone in the market to purchase one of the cameras featured. However, the overall look of the video is determined greatly by the user and their experience with a particular camera. With that said, it would be easy to give off false impressions of the true capabilities of a camera if the operator is unfamiliar with it. Likewise, having experienced users of each camera would result in the best results per camera, but dissimilar source video would not be as great of a comparison as if all cameras were shooting the same source.
Now if someone could get experienced users of each camera together to shoot the same source and post the results, that would be very interesting. |

Here are a few things I posted a long while ago..
http://homepage.mac.com/barrygoyette/PhotoAlbum19.html There are a number of xl2 clips available there as well. Marty Hudzik posted a number of xl2 dvx comparisons way back then as well, you might do a search to see if they are still online anywhere. Hope this hops. Barry |

Howdy from Texas,
I think this last came up about a year ago, but I have access (thanks to resources in nearby Austin) to just about all of the current flavors of camcorders... I'd be happy to compile a sort of all-in-one comparison, but as I mentioned last time, I'd need some guidelines from you guys as to *how* and *what* you want tested, specifically, exactly how and what do you want to see in such a comparison. |

I just shot this in very poor light last weekend.
www.holyzoo.com/media/video/The_Black_Pole.mov This was shot with controlled lighting: http://www.holyzoo.com/media/video/H...er_1500kbs.mov This was shot in day light: http://www.holyzoo.com/content/xl2/v...t_Outdoors.mov These, of course, aren't DV files, they're compressed for web, but it give you the idea of some of the looks that are possible. |

If you light a scene to look dark and light it properly it will pull this off with very little grain or noise. But to try to shoot a dark unlit room you will have to use gain and that always introduces noise to the signal. I wish it were better in low light but I have learned to love it for its amazing imagery when given enough light. |
