We I now have my XL1s, and should be able to try it out good and proper tomorrow. I ordered from www.nomatica.com and www.rgbdirect.com both which said that Canon were in short supply and that they were awaiting stock.....well after sick of waiting I tried to contact Canon to check this out, Canon have plenty phone numbers, but no e-mail, but I was unsuccessfully so I called optex and said they had plenty in stock and that the previous companies were probably talking a whole load of bollocks, and that there was no problems with Canon's.
So any in British Isles that is looking for an XL1s, I have contacted and ordered through a few companies and had no success just a few months of waiting, cancelling orders, re-ordering, etc, etc.....So the moral of this story is if your in Britain get it from Optex and pay the little extra that quoted elsewhere, and save all the hassle!!!!!!
I got the MA-200 from them as well and seemed to be most reasonable priced for this in UK, said they were a little short instock but would get one a week later, but it came earlier than they told me!!! So extra bonus!
