Canon XL1 S review
Review of Canon XL1 S by vcdmusik

Advantages: Pleasing image quality
Disadvantages: Lack of shoulder mount hampers handheld shooting

Canon makes the most of its famous optics with the XL1S, a three-CCD MiniDV camera with an interchangeable lens system. The successor to the similarly outfitted XL1, the XL1S garners attention wherever it goes with its prominent lens assembly, external color viewfinder, and grip-mounted zoom control. The uniquely designed XL1S comes standard with a 16X zoom lens, as well as a shoulder brace that, when combined with Canon's superb optical image stabilizer, ...
...buttons and control wheels, including a manual zoom ring on the lens that can conveniently override the autofocus and zoom-motor controls on both the right-handed grip and the overhead handle. To enhance resolution, Canon has offset some pixels in the XL1S, but that technology does not improve low-light performance. ... Read review

Canon XL1S - A Camcorder For Serious Use!
Review of Canon XL1 S by Torrence taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Interchangable lens, manual focus ring, shoulder mount, stereo sound
Disadvantages Tape mechanism can be heard on some recordings

...The Canon XL1S is not your average camcorder. Its a 3CCD, Mini DV camcorder with interchangable lens facility, broadcast quality recording and enhanced manual functions - this camcorder is for users with professional needs. It comes with a standard 20x Optical Zoom lens but can be modified and tuned to your own taste if need be with the use of the additional lenses available. The lens is sorted with Optical image Stabilizer which for a camera of such size is very useful and will always come in handy when using a 20x optical zoom. Lenses like the XL Extender 1.6x , 3X wideangle zoom lens and not forgetting the XL Adapter making it compatible with the 35mm EOS EF Lenses. Other accessories include microphone adaptor shoulder pads giving the facility to add XLR input microphones for voice overs on recording or additional sound... Read review

Review of Canon XL1 camcorder - Mini DV by coxcomb1 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages superb image quality
Disadvantages weight

...The canon XL1 is without a doubt an excellent camera, though this is no reason to make a hurried buy. In my experience this camera is very suitable for specific purposes, but not for others. There are plenty of reviews telling you the good points about this camera, to which there are many, and the specs speak for themselves. But here are some things you may not have considered about it's suitability for specific purposes: 1) It's weight. The XL1 is a fairly heavy camera of substantial size, much bigger than it's fellow prosumer camera's. This does make it a sturdy, robust piece of equpment but it does make long day shoots at different locations very tiring. So consider: Are you buying a camera mainly for location shoots or will most of its time be spent in a studio? Will most of your work be shot handheld or tripod based... Read review

Review of Canon XL1 camcorder - Mini DV by asey16 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Excellent picture quality, flexible controls, ease of use, affordable
Disadvantages Can get a little heavy as it only has a partial shoulder rest.

...It is difficult to fully understand how such a fantastic camcorder could be sold at such a reasonable price. The Canon XL1 offers users superb picture quality, excellent audio, and enough options to make nearly every camera operator happy. All this is fitted into a small carriable and affordable package. The canon XL1 comes with a huge range of options to capture exactly the shot you want. At first these may all seem a bit complex, but amatuers will find find the controls easy to use with only a little practice and there are also many different automatic options to allow you complete freedom. Nearly all of the manual options can be turned invividually to automatic inlcuding, focus, apature, iris, white balance, stereo audio balance. This allows more flexibility when filming and give the operator freedom to take full creative... Read review
