I own both a Sony HDW-700 and a Canon XL-1 and have seen the transfers. Both look somewhat amazing, albeit for different reasons. The XL-1 transfer looks great for what you'd expect, and the HDW-700 looks pretty much like film with few exceptions. I rent out both cameras for incredibly affordable prices, and would be willing to talk to anyone about it. My number is (310)998-1989 and I am in Los Angeles.(posted 9074 days ago)
