Product Description

 
With the GL2, Canon has produced the most accessible prosumer camcorder on the market. A fluorite lens capable of 20X optical zoom gives you broadcast quality imagery. Every option a videographer would expect in a camcorder is built into the GL2 including manual white balance and aperture adjustment, manual focus, and an entire spread of professional inputs and outputs. With a variety of accessories available for the GL2 such as shotgun microphones and camera lights you’ll be hard pressed to find a video shoot the GL2 can’t tackle.

Best semi-pro camcorder? Closest there is.

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Sony's new VX camera will have to be something special to beat the GL1/XM2. Image quality second to none at this price.
Review: The successor to the outgoing XM1/GL1 adds manual audio record levels to the spec sheet and a beefed up still camera.
Canon pretty much got it right with the XM1/GL1 so there is little to fault on this machine.
The optics are the best in...

Full manual spec. Well laid out. That...
Cons
Bulk. Plastic bodied. No stop frame...
 

Excellent camera hands down.

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you want a quality camera. Don't cheap out and get 1-chip cameras.You might want to wait for the Sony HD-CAMS though at this point.
Review: I was looking for a new miniDV cam for a long time. I had to make sure that the choice was researched and researched so I didn't go wrong. I knew I wanted a 3CCD camera. That seperates colors and luminance and contrast I think. Something like that...

Great Camcorder with everything you could want

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2003
The Bottom Line: A Great camcorder if you have the money. Still, newer things may be out there and you may want to research those before you make this purchase.
Review: This Camcorder is possibly the best Canon has made. However, it's cost proves prohibitive for many. It's not like you aren't getting what you pay for, however. It is certainly a great camcorder, and has everything you could want in a camcorder...
