Canon Digital Camcorder miniDV XL1-S

Thinking about buying one.

Should I try bidding on one from this seller? $1300 too much?

get a Panny DVX100b...24p goodness, XLR audio, just as good as the Cannon (some would say better) a tad pricier though. (2600$ is a fair price, anything under that is gray market or stolen)

I have one, it's a good camera to play around with on the side while learning with bigger equipment in Film School. I got mine last year for $2K, but it came with a ton of shit to justify the price.

All in all, no 24p but whatever. Just remember the camera doesn't make the filmmaker. Have fun with it, and at that price it's a good buy.
