| |  Canon XM2 - widescreen or not?
That is the question! Some blurb says the XM2 differs from the XM1 in that it has 16:9 (as well as a widescreen frame so you can frame 4:3 stuff and letterbox it) other reviews say it's not true widescreen.
Can someone with real life experience please explain?

Thanks for the link Mark. So it seems the XM2 is true widescreen (720x576 rectangular pixels)
