The minute you buy it, they are going to drop a new XL2S with all the revised and fixed quirks of the current XL2.

for now, as much as love the XL2, I am holding on to my Panasonic DVX100As until middle of 2005 to see what happens.
as a matter of fact, from what i hear, Sony is planning on releasing the Sony HDV cam with 24P support around April/May or some shit (but that's only if HD matters more to you than having interchangeable lenses)
I have seen that new Sony cam and not so excited anymore. With HDV the dropouts are 15 frames each so the picture freezes for half a second and you lose audio. Also, it does not have "real" 24P.
