Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The XM2 improves on the market leading and successful XM1 in a number of key areas. It comprises of a brand new 470,000-pixel 3CCD system and improved picture adjustment feature result in increased image quality. Not forgetting a new manual control in picture adjustments and shooting adjustments even for professional users.

A new high-sensitivity 470,000-pixel 3CCD achieves superb 540 lines horizontal resolution and Super Low Light performance.

A new generation camera signaling processing LSI improves approximately 3dB in S/N ratio from the XM1. The result is an improvement in colour, low light performance, resolution and dynamic range.

Equipped with a pixel shift system that boosts both resolution and sensitivity, the XM2 allows users to achieve superb picture quality results.

Pixel shift is a technology to horizontally shift the green CCD by one half-pitch whereby pixel quantity is increased 1.5 times for moving images. In addition, the green CCD is vertically shifted to achieve 1.7 mega-pixel high-resolution still images and a wider dynamic range for moving pictures while also reducing vertical smear.

The XM2 supports a direction accurate stereo microphone that incorporates two non-directional microphones for both left and right channels to produce better directional ability and give more precise stereo reproduction.

The XM2 allows users to select 3 types of frequency characteristics for the built in microphone. These include Normal, Voice and Wide Screen mode.

Additionally, it features a 2-channel manual audio level control whereby input level can be adjusted by a special dial and L/R level can be set for 2 channels. Audio-level meter with right-and-left independent 24-segment peak holder and the audio-level meter can be displayed in LCD and EVF.

An optional MA -300 microphone adapter allows the simultaneous recording of 2 independent channels from microphones with XLR connections. A BNC picture Out Terminal is also present.

The XM2 is equipped with a DV terminal for non-linear editing. Using a USB terminal (storage class), transmission of still images JPEG file to a PC is made easy. The XM2 is also compatible with SD Memory and MultiMedia Card and includes an 8mb Memory card in the kit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding prosumer MiniDV camcorder, 20 Jan 2003
    This review is from: Canon DM-XM2 Professional MiniDV Camcorder (20x Optical Zoom, 100x Digital zoom) (Electronics)
    Ever since the digital revolution began i have been waiting for a camcorder like this one. The previous model by canon(DM-XL1s) was good but this on is absolutely stupendous and even though i believe that digital camcorders can get better than this, at this point of time , there are very few prosumer camcorders that can beat this particular model in this price range. The DM-XM2 is a professional 3ccd camcorder meant for the budding filmaker or semiprofessional and not for the average home user unless u are a home user who can afford this baby. This cam has excellent colur fidelity and the image quality is beautiful. Throw in with that extensive manual control, a fabulous 20x optical zoom, canons reliable optics, 2 channel audio control and a very light body that makes making professional quality movies a painless task. The flip out LCD is large and very clear, the EVF is clear and helps in getting a clear idea whether ur subject is in focus and the zoom switch is a dream to operate(smooth and very controllable). The still capapbility is also commendable but it cannot be compared to that of a dedicated digital camera. There are however a few negative points that i have come across but not significant enough to shadow this marvel. Firstly the included battery is a weak one and you had better buy a higher capacity battery. The included mic is not unidirectional and tends to pick up too much of surrounding noise so be ready to spring for a better mic, also i miss a manual zoom control as can be found on the sony vx2000(the closest competitor to this camera). Overall i find this a better camera than the Sony VX2000 because it costs less, gives u better optical zoom range, and according to me has a more precise autofocus and autoexposure and is relatively lighter than the sony. I also found the low light picture quality of the canon to be exceptional. I would recommend this camcorder to anyone looking for a semiprofessional MiniDVcam, unless u want changeble lenses, if so go in for the Canon DM-XL1s.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Canon Triumph, 7 May 2003
    This review is from: Canon DM-XM2 Professional MiniDV Camcorder (20x Optical Zoom, 100x Digital zoom) (Electronics)
    I started a few years ago with the Canon XM1, and was taken with its simplicity of operation, and its outstanding results. When the XL1s came out I bought that too, based on my happy experiences with the XM1. Though I use the XL1s much of the time on production shoots, I have a new 'baby' with the XM2. This camera is a 'no nonsense' high performance tool with almost no vices. It is capable of doing about 95% of the work I do with the XL1s, and as a number 2 unit to my XL1s, it has relegated my old trusty XM1 to the 'back up box' (not that has since been needed). The XM2 has to be the best 'under £2000' camera buy I have ever made. The XM2 is noticably sharper, more stable and even easier to use than the XM1.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Firewire Problems with this camcorder, 29 April 2009
    This review is from: Canon DM-XM2 Professional MiniDV Camcorder (20x Optical Zoom, 100x Digital zoom) (Electronics)
    I am an indie film maker and I was warned about firewire problems with this camcorder. Overall, I would rate this as a great camcorder 5*. However, I wished now that I had heeded the warnings as the computer board that links to both the USB port and the firewire is faulty and now needs replacing. The cost I hear you ask? I cool £600. That's circa half the price of the camcorder. I have only used the camera on and off for two years. This is a well documented problem.
