24 Aug 2008 Very Good Prosumer Grade MiniDV Camcorder The Canon GL2 is NOT a hi-def camcorder, but it still holds up for it's picture quality and durability. Over the past 3 years, we have produced over 20 instructional videos using this camcorder and the quality is evident every time we use it. I suspect that many of these will start turning up in the used market in the near future since these well made camcorders will likely still be functional well into the hi-def age.

  • "Part of their high-end, "prosumer" range, the Canon GL2's most notable features include zebra patterning, color gain, phase and sharpness. It has a 2.5-inch flip-out LCD display and 0.44-inch color viewfinder. It also includes 3 1/4" CCDs, manual and auto focus and white balance, and the ability to attach a variety of accessories through an advanced accessory shoe, making it popular with amateur and independent filmmakers. It has the ability to record in 480i60 as well as 480p30 onto standard MiniDV cassettes. It has a fixed fluorite zoom lens. Its operating weight, when batteries and tapes are included, is just under three pounds."
