Canon XL Series Head to Head - the XL1s vs XLH1s, MiniDV vs HDV, the two cameras compared

[@roboshobo]

I’ve been dying to know. Can you use the HD XL lens on the XL1/XL2

[@WaybackRewind]

Yes you can! The XL lenses are interchangeable. I just did it and powered them both up but with one caveat. The XL1 lens will only work on the XLH1 in SD mode. Its incompatible in HD. But the HD lens will work on the XL1/XL2 with no issues. Great question and thanks for watching.

yes

Making me homesick bro. I grew up a block past Miller's landing. Thanks for the video, I have been looking into these cams.

[@WaybackRewind]

You're welcome. Glad you appreciated me taking these to the beach for testing. Thanks for watching.

The XL H1S is certainly the better camera...

The XLH1S for me,I like both the Canons more than the iPhone,but the XLH1S does stand out more for me.Thanks,Alan 😊😊

[@WaybackRewind]

The optical zoom on the XLH1s is definitely better than iPhone. The low light ability could be better though.
Thanks for watching.

swap the XL lenses and reshoot.....

[@WaybackRewind]

Pretty sure the XL1s will still look worse. But it's worth a try.
