I also hope that Canon does not use the same form factor of the XL H1 cameras. Not only are they awkward but ugly! Same with the Sony EX3. Either make a very compact body like the Panasonic HPX 170 or go shoulder mounted like the JVC HDV cameras. My wish list – XLR audio with high quality audio circuits, re-designed lenses with greater throw for focusing, sdi output, good viewfinder with numbers for focus and focal distance, histogram and focusing aids, smooth f stop movement, built in ND, in other words, a good video camera!

I agree with everything except the shoulder mountability of the XL chassis. I owned an XL once and found the shape extremely constraining. Indeed, the shape of a Scarlet or any “smallish” box that can have mounting accessories added to it make it more versatile.
Good work though! Canon should pay close attention to your mock-up.
