I'm really thankful
my prayers where answered.

Well, here we go again.

Canon announced Tuesday that a free Software Developers Kit will be released this July to allow Mac OS X software developers to create custom applications to remotely control the Canon XL2 Mini-DV camcorder.

The SDK allows software to control all of the XL2's functions, such as switching frame rates, adjusting color gain and managing white balance controls.

pretty neat eh?

If you give it a thought for a moment, after the "BLUFF" of the Film Grain feature, another bad announcemet really would make a lot of Canon users like me to think, Canon is not reliable at all with its prosumer market and Panasonic would look as the normal step further. BTW they have a really good attention to detail for what Independent Filmmakers look for a camera.

Let`s cheer up the guys of CANON!! WEEEAAAHAAA!

I think they are reading our thread,don't you think?

Cheers!
