The Canon XL2 comes with state-of-the-art controls, 24P mode, and 16:9 capture. The XL2 is also completely compatible with any accessories or lenses purchased for the XL1.

Canon is world renowned for quality camera equipment, but the company's outdone itself with the marvelous XL2, first released back in 2004. A professional-grade design, the XL2 provides up to 20x optical zoom, recording details that would otherwise have to be drawn out in post-processing.

Only professionals will want the XL2 or even be able to utilize it to its fullest advantage. Its steep price premium will be too much for all but the most hardcore hobbyist or photo enthusiast. If you need the very best and am looking for a camera to do most of the work for you, the Canon XL2 is a solid pick.
