... opinion not worth the extra cost above the XL1 price. As far as functionality goes I have struggled to find a great deal of difference between the two models. One problem that did occur with an XL1S that I have used was the motor on the lens malfunctioning meaning zoom and focus operations failed. This caused a major problem and on further investigation I was informed that this wasn't the first case of this being reported. For low-budget filmmakers you can't go far wrong with a camera of this standard. As far as ...more
