wfinders, mounts and audio components. The result is a video system that conforms to you - not the other way around.
And no matter how you customize your system, you're building it on the foundation of a recognized industry leader: the Canon
L2. The XL2 gives you performance found only in much more expensive cameras, with Total Image Control, dual aspect ratios, variable frame rates, customizable cine-look, advanced controls, and much more.
Because every filmmaker or videographer
