CANON XL2 Camcorder

Item DescriptionThe Canon XL2 allows you to capture images closer to the finished product than ever before. Work that previously was limited to post-production can be simply and effectively accomplished in the field, in the camcorder.Canon is the only company to offer a MiniDV format camcorder with interchangeable lenses. The XL2 offers you the ability to change lenses from the XL series of lenses or Canon?s extensive range of photographic lenses. The 20x lens (standard) features the finest optics with fluorite achieving the famous ?L-series? designation plus Super Range Optical Image Stabilization, zoom and focus presets and built-in neutral density filters. Canon?s superb Optical Image Stabilization system corrects camera shake instantly while maintaining the integrity of the image unlike some electronics image stabilizers. By incorporating a gyro sensor to detect camcorder vibration and control a vari-angle prism Canon?s system continuously corrects the path of incoming light to the CCD image sensor to ensure smooth, steady video even at telephoto. Super Range uses feedback from the camera to accelerate and refine movement of the prism for the most advanced image stabilization available. The 16x IS II Lens also with Super Range Optical Image Stabilization resolves to more than 600 TV lines to record extraordinary sharp images. For wide angle imaging, Canon offers the 3x Wide Angle Lens with resolution in excess of 600 TV lines, while the 16x Mechanical Servo Zoom Lens gives you the flexibility of calibrated focus and zooms. For added optical lens magnification, apply Canon?s 1.6x Extender between the camcorder and the zoom len
