   Two XLR inputs
   
   A standard 20x zoom lens with two ND filters
   
   16:9 aspect ratio
   
   Built in BNC termanal
   
   
   and a ton of other stuff. Check it out by going to canondv.com.

   Looks like a well built camera. But i think it is overdue. Look out for the HDV cameras hitting the market soon. And at $5,000, the XL2 seems only worth getting if you already have the extra lenses.

   Maybe.... but I don't know of any other camera that allows the control of image that the XL2 does....

   Sony has answered and provides a much more robust camera than the XL2. Check out http://www.digitalvideoediting.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=29075
   
   for more details.

   The XL2 is a great camera. The HDV camera is good if you are shooting in HDV and your product remains in HDV. If not there is no advantage. In regular DV mode the HDV camera looks no different than any other camera in it's price range.
