Default Which camera?

Hey hey...

Right, the time has come to sell my beloved XL1 for something a little more up2date.

Which of these would you rather own and why?

Sony Z1E
JVC GY-HD101
Canon XL2
Canon XL H1

Filming in HD is not something I'm really bothered about, I just need something which offers better quality. I've just borrowed a Z1E and the quality on capture is far superior to that of the XL1. I'd like an XL2 as I already have the wide angle lens, but is that the best reason for buying an XL2?

Please let me know your choices.

Thanks guys.

At the moment I'm getting a lot of jobs filming properties and filming abroad for hotels and resorts (like the Egyptian lifestyle video I did at View by Video - Digital Property Tours and Online Property Viewing by Video. Property Filming and Property Video ... The Future of Online Property Viewing with Property Video Tours.).

I was really impressed with the Z1E and will post the footage up here once I've done it, but I really don't like cameras which have the eye piece at the back - it's too much like a handy cam that my dad had in the 1990's!

Any thoughts?
