Indie Filmmaking Camcorders
is the canon xl2 still good enough quality for indie filmmaking?
I have the opportunity to buy one for £1,100 but I want to know if there are any other camcorders that are just as good, and possibly in HD.
The Canon XL2 is used a lot to produce videos, especially those that will be aired on television.
It produces excellent broadcast quality video.
I covered an assignment last week and the results are going to be produced into a documentary. On the site were two XL2′s and one XL1 as well as two professional level Panasonic video cameras and one JVC.
I think to know for sure, talk to your video editor and see what they have to say
Most indie shooters use HD video cameras now
