Hi, I have been looking around in this forum and don't really see a topic or question like this so here it is.

What kind of capture device/deck are you going to use with your new or future purchase of the XLH1?

I don't like to waist money (da!!), so I want a deck that can do double duty with my XL2 until I make the final jump several months from now. At that time I'll sell my XL2.

Thanks, Joe

Try looking in the XLH1 forum... the lack of a deck is discussed in this thread:

As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), there isn't a deck on the market that will play 24F or 30F footage from the Canon. So you're stuck with using the camera as a deck.
