Why is the XL-2 more expensive?
I have a question about the DVX vs. XL-2 issue. I know this was already addressed with the very comprehensive review from dvxuser.com and I’m posting it below for reference.
https://www.dvxuser.com/V3/showthread.php?t=27704
But pretty much this article claims the dvx a superior camera to the xl-2 except for that fact that the xl-2 looks more impresive and has a longer lense. Part of this doesn’t make sense though.
1. This article came from a DVX user group and the article seems to potentially be full of bias.
2. The XL-2 is $1500 more than the dvx, list price. Why? If the DVX is a better, more professional camera, why the price inflation on the canon? It can’t just be for the option to buy more canon lenses. That doesn’t justify $1500.I know this is a dvx user group too and everyone here at least likes if not loves their dvx. Believe me, I do too! But I really wanted to get to the bottom of this. thanks

You do get the ability to interchange lenses and native 16:9. Other than that the price descrepancy is pure conjecture- profit perhaps?
