DVL-Digest 923 - Postings: Index Canon XL1S Test Results Canon XL1S Test Results - "Perry" From: Charles Molnar The most important feature the next generation prosumer cameras can include is computer control of all camera functions. Right now, Canon is beholden to Sony on the Control-L features. Audio control is totally manual - it's impossible to vary gain without shaking the camera by adjusting manual pots. Exposure control is not possible with Control-L. Control-L regulates tape transport, focus, and zoom. Perhaps Canon can work around Control-L limitations by using Firewire or USB 2.0 connections for "remote" control. All camera functions could be superimposed over live video on a laptop PC. It's basically a poor-man's heads-up-display. Camera adjustments while videotaping wouldn't shake the camera when when remote inputs depend on a touch- screen LCD display. A purpose-built remote control (like the new Panja models) would provide smooth camera moves - smoother than any viscous head or manual lens.
