All nice cameras. The XL2 is the bulkier of the bunch but there's the option of interchangeable lenses if you need it. I don't think the PD170 has the 24P option or other frame rate modes other than a "movie" mode. The Sony and Panasonic come with XLR ins and the Canon requires an attachment accessory to go from mini-ins to XLR. The XL2 doesn't have a flip out viewfinder and the eyepiece viewfinder is color and not the best for critical focusing.
I would decide between the Sony and Panasonic unless the interchangeable lens thing is a major factor. I haven't used the Panasonic so maybe someone else could chime in? Looks like you get XLR inputs and frame rates. Wondering how image quality and low light shooting compare? Any other Panasonic drawbacks?
