I've used the camera "CANON XM2" for my school projekt in June and I think the camera for 4000 € is very good. The sound quality is also good and it was very easy to transfer the video by firewire on my PC. In this video I learned how to use this camera and when I lend the camera, was it very easy. Thank you for this video!
I think it were much better, when the camera in 16-9 films not in 4-3 an the screen of the camera is a littlebit smaller, than the real video, but the camera is also good!
Need help...I have my xm2 set up the same as you, but after my shooting and go to upload to computer I find my captured shots are blury but I hold the camera steady or on my tripod..can you tell me what i'm not doing or doing wrong..steady shots are ok, but moving shots I get blur..any suggestions??? thank you
The Sony brand of mini dv tapes tend to use a wet lubricant on the tape as opposed to Dry lubricant used by many other brands like panasonic. Sony it seems is the only brand that does this. When wet and dry tapes mix they form a glue and this can lead to dropouts. If you use sony then stick to them and don't mix brands.
does the canon xm2 shoot in natural 16:9?

Is it possible to use a USB-cable to the XM2? Or do you have to use a firewire to transfer the clips from the camera to the computer? =)

agree with robcx9998, I've used Sony tapes for years on the XM2 and never had a problem. Might be nice to explain why you say 'no Sony tapes'

Hi, You mention not to use Sony tapes. I tend to use the HD Sony tapes and they seem to be fine. Do they affect the heads or winding mechanism ?
Great informative video. More please. many thanks. Rob.
