Does anyone know if the old lenses from the Canon L2 will fit the new Xl2? The mount looks similar but I assume the XL2 has a larger chip.

See Don Palomaki's article Canon VL Lenses on the XL1? (http://www.dvinfo.net/canon/articles/article13.php) for your answer (applies to XL2 as well).

Thanks for the tip. That answers the question.
