How often has Canon replaced its prosumer models? I agree with the philosophy of "buy what you need when you need it". But I hate to buy product at the end of its lifecycle.

View Full Version : XH/XL replacement cycle Don Miller November 24th, 2007, 10:46 AM How often has Canon replaced its prosumer models?

Don Palomaki November 24th, 2007, 02:27 PM Around 3 to 4 years is the typical model life run for the prosumer models going back to the Canon L1 Hi8 camcorder, but past practice is no guarantee of the future. Market conditions, competition, demand and technology advances will drive decisions as to new models.Some nominal introduction dates dates L1 - 1990 L2 - 1993 XL1 - 1998 XL1S - 2001 XL2 - 2004 XL H1 - 2006 |
