Peter you're funny.

There are advantages to both the XL1 and the XM2/GL2. Even though they are similar in the final result, I wanted to shoot most with the GL2 because that is the camera I'm most familiar with. I can tell which were shot with the XL1 and which with the GL2 just by looking at the footage. I prefer the look I get from the GL2 when it comes to the color and crispness (not sharpness). I also prefer the framing from the XL1 over the GL2. Soooo, I used the XL1 for b-roll and close angles. And besides all that, I own the GL2 and a friend owns the XL1.
I am by far not an expert, but I'm learning more all the time.

Guys...
Would like to know... is it possible to make an entire movie/drama (1-2hours) with just one camera? that means double take is always need for conversation? or it is a norm that 2 cameras or more is used?

Yow,

Buy the double DVD with El Mariachi and Desperado by Robert Rodriguez. The first film, El Mariachi, was shot with one camera...actually just him...no other crew besides the actors chipping in to help. There are extras on the DVD where Rodriguez explains how he did it.

Then go out and make yours!
