foreignfilm Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Since I'm not gonna be shooting sound anyway, what are the features in the XLS that would be worth spending more money on? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Palidwor Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) Since I'm not gonna be shooting sound anyway, what are the features in the XLS that would be worth spending more money on? Thanks. I haven't handled an 814 XL but I own an XLS. From the specs the XLS will give you 24 fps and intervalometer at least. Also more likely to be quieter and a few years newer. Those could be important, depending... Your call. Also, 814XL is part of an earlier "family" of Canon super8 cameras. 814 (and 1014) XLS was part of a redesign? Which is better? I have had good experience with both families. Rick Edited July 26, 2007 by Rick Palidwor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Wilkinson Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) I think the main advantage you get is that the XLS has a wider shutter angle, making it more useful in low light situations. I've used the 1014 XL and 1014 XLS, and if I was to go for a canon again, I'd strongly advise/definitely take the XLS route Edited July 26, 2007 by Grant Wilkinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 One problem with an unadjustable XL shutter can be excessive motion blur. I certainly noticed it going from a 180 to a 220 degree shutter. You do have to be aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
