The Canon XL2 allows you to capture images closer to the finished

* 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio shooting formats
With an increasing consumer shift towards widescreen TVs that deliver
the full width of film-based theatrical movies, plus the resulting need
for productions in the 16:9 aspect ratio, Canon's XL2 offers both the
standard 4:3 aspect ratio and the 16:9 widescreen TV aspect ratio.
Representing the ratio of the screen width to its height, the 4:3 aspect
ratio is that of the common TV screen, and is the most commonly used
aspect ratio in broadcasting today.
The 16:9 aspect ratio is the more common aspect ratio for film-based
movies, and produces full screen playback on widescreen TVs. 16:9 also
is the world standard aspect ratio for HDTV.
By offering a camcorder that is able to be switched between the two
aspect ratios, Canon opens the door for multiple production options with
the same camera -- the XL2.
* Variable frame rates
60i/30p/24p (2:3 and 2:3:3:2 both with 1/48th second shutter speed)
frame rates are available in the XL2.
The demands being made on the video production community to be able to
provide solutions under a multitude of different scenarios have been met
with the Canon XL2. It delivers 60i, 30p, 24p (2:3 and 2:3:3:2) frame
rates. 60i (interlaced) is the standard video frame rate that has been
in use for decades; it's what you see on your home TV, and is captured
by handheld consumer camcorders. Progressive (non-interlaced) scanning
mimics a film camera's frame-by-frame image capture. 30p, or 30-frame
progressive, a non-interlaced format, produces video at
