[MacDV] Brand New Canon XL2's lens is loose

[Jeff Fay]

DV Listers-

I recently got a brand new Canon XL2 which I've used a total of about 2 
hours so far.

I noticed on the second shoot that I took it on that the lens was loose 
at the mount. I've taken the lens off and checked the tightness of all 
the mounting screww that I could see both on the lens and the camera. 
They all were tight.

I also have an XL1 and the Canon 3x wide angle lens. No matter which 
lens I mount on the xl2, it wobbles.  The fact that ANY lens seems to 
wobble points to a problem in the camera body.

Since the camera is brand new, I didn't want to go too far taking things 
apart, fearing I'd void my warrenty.

Have any of you experienced this kind of problem? If you did, how did 
you resolve it (short of sending the thing for warrenty repair)?

TIA.

Jeff
