It's official: As of August 9, 2004, ZGC is one of only a handful of dealers in the U.S. that are authorized to sell the new Canon XL2 camera. We are now taking orders and deposits for Canon's estimated delivery date of September. Call ZGC, 973-335-4460, and speak with Christine Brnic to place your order.

Nice Barbara. Don't suppose you guys will have the PAL version around then will you?

Cheers
Aaron

The PAL version XL2 will probably not be made available in the US. Canon made the XL1 available in PAL here, but not the XL1S.

Be forewarned, that if you purchase a PAL camera, getting it serviced under warranty will have to take place in that country of original purchase.
