Our XL-1 sits int he corner, I'm mostly using it for mainstream work shooting movies and video's. We did an entire movie on the XL-1 (edited in final cut pro) ADR'd in Vegas, Nuendo. (Will be in next years sundance, cross my fingers it will do well)
Its totaly overkill for web work...
But when EscortBiz was having problems with a provider producing something that looked like it was shot on Hi-8 or VHS I told him to tell them to rent an XL-1... bam shot was what he wanted.
I prefer the Sony and my Panasonic. My panasonic is the smallest of the 3CCD its an amazing camera problem is you CANT get it any more... Dont ask me why..its like they totaly pulled the line.
The thing I love about it is that its so small and un-obtrosuve the models love it.
When that doesnt work I break out the VX2000
With good lighting and a compatent eye the quality of the 3 is approx the same, although the XL-1 handles lower light better.
