I'm looking into finally getting myself a decent camera for independent work (the tiny one I have just isn't getting it done), and I've narrowed the decision to either the Canon XL-2 or the Panasonic DVX-100. From what people have been telling me, both are one of the premiere choices for your first decent camera, and they have decent price points as well. I have about $2,000 to spend, and though the DVX-100 is cheaper, I just wanted to know what the opinions are of people who have actually used them.
