Sounds great. Can't wait to hear more. Looking good though.

Beautiful lighting, great job. Just remember not to try to demonize our guys - I guess I'm just saying that cause I'm joining the marines next year. Last thing we need is an American version of "The valley of the wolves Iraq". :D

Do you know if the XL2 includes both 24p and 16:9 widescreen? And yeah, I was planning on renting out both cameras to see which might suit my needs better.

I'm new to cinematography. I took a film class last semester in my high school; and though it was mainly film theory, I got the opportunity to use the XL-1. Now that I'm out of the class, I've been filming with a relatively cheap Sony miniDV. I want to step it up; for a few days now, I've been searching through several forums and film sites for comparisons between the Cannon XL family and the Panasonic?s DVX100. I want a camera that can shoot 24p (which, I believe, applies to both the XL2 and the DVX100), but I also want to film in widescreen. Again, I don't know much about DV cameras, but I'll be willing to learn.
