Produce and watch videos from the Canon XL1 camcorder.
The Canon XL1 Digital Video Camcorder uses older, outdated video recording technology. Still, it remains popular among amateur videographers and digital film makers because of features like the 16x long glass interchangeable lens and the 3x wide angle lens. It uses a digital recording cassette to record film instead of the current DVDs, so you have to connect the camcorder directly to the TV to watch the recorded video.
