Canon XL2 Test: Natural Daylight Test

My second XL2 test. Went outside and filmed in natural daylight settings. I wanted to see the colors and the blending, and as you can see, the footage looks incredible, even though I am very new with using the XL2.

Can this record HD? cause non of the vids on youtube are hd. the highest ive seen is 480p

[MichaelSirois]

@htsk91 The answer can be confusing, but basically no. The XL2 shoots in Standard Definition, but it is the perfection of SD. The quality is great and translates to 720p on YouTube. For example, most of my films are 720p on YouTube despite being shot in SD. On YouTube, the "HD" option isn't really correct.

No, didn't like it at all.

Need more practice

[MichaelSirois]

You're right. Thanks.

Do you use CP on the camera? You should, you can adjust coring, setup level, master pedestal, color phase etc etc etc. Very cool to play with.

[MichaelSirois]

I use CP now, but at the time I had no idea of that feature. It's an awesome feature, though.

@MichaelSirois this was in 2007, so was there any upgrade from SD to HD? Cause if it shoots in Standard then im not too sure its worth $2,000+.... But it looks sick

Thanks
