XL1 to XL2 Major Differences?	Can't Post

My XL1 finally gave out in the middle of a shoot last Friday. I ordered an XL2 and I'm supposed to get it the day before I go out on another shoot - I won't have much time to familiarize myself with the camera before having to shoot two full days - Are there any MAJOR differences in the two cameras I should be aware of? I used the ma200 adapter on XL1 to connect Sennheiser wireless - I take it I won't need adapter to connect my audio for the XL2? Any comments appreciated.....

You are going to love it.
Yes there are major differences, but nothing to completely freak you out day before a wedding.
You will notice a big improvement in picture quality and low light situations, and of course the bonus of XLR inputs, plus a handy clip to hang the wireless receiver. Wink
