My first day out with my Canon XL1s. Most footage was shot in 30p (frame mode) and slowed down between 25-75%.
Song is "Andvari" by Sigur Ros.

  • is there much difference between the XL1 and the XL2 as i am thinking of getting one to film wildlife

  • yes there is a big difference. the xl1s is quite a bit better than the xl1, and the xl2 is quite a bit better than the xl1s. you get what you pay for. if you can afford the xl2, its worth it!

  • how did you get the widescreen effect on the camera it self on did you add a black matte in post to make it letterbox, did you use a special lense? what kind of editing software did you use?

  • The widescreen is just a letterbox mask i added in Final Cut 5. The lens is the standard 16x zoom lens that came with the camera. Thanks for your interest.

  • any color correction?

    nice footage anyway.

  • I used a slight gamma correction in the shots with the geese and deer. thanks

see all

  • Hi. Your videos are awesome. I'm working with my Canon XL1 in parties, and editing in my Imac with FCP HD express. Usually I finish projects in 100 minutes length with 20 to 25 GB each. Good to make clear that FCP Express HD, do not includes Compressor. The thing is : If someone knows the proper settings in XL1 and FCP EXPRESS Pro HD to export MiniDV tapes and burn it in IDVD or BLUE RAY with Crystal clear results (or look alike) in a 52 inch plasma HD 1080, I will be very happy to read it.

  • is this camera a camera you would recomend for film making in high lighting situations such as offices

  • @thecultguy

    In fact, most of the film.

  • @KohrsFM Is this true? :]

  • so the xl2 is better than the xl1 because some people say that the xl1 is better

  • and the fact that you put Sigur Ros... Wow. I am thinking of this camera too.

  • Canon

  • This camera doesn't shoot HD genious.
