This is my 5th GL-2. Just love this CC. I do church audio/video work and I find that this machine is great for that application. I also use them to video modeling and talent events.
This is a great designed, rugged, camcorder with a quality picture.

Comments about Canon GL-2 3CCD Mini Dv Camcorder:

I used Canon's GL-1 for 7 years and i'm verry happy we can step up to Gl-2's now! Verry good camera for low light situations (ex: filming weddings in some churches) and the best for camera remote control systems. If you don't have the money for Canon's HD version, get the GL-2!!!

Comments about Canon GL-2 3CCD Mini Dv Camcorder:

This camcorder gives excellent picture quality and color reproduction. There are many features that make this a very versatile camera for recording weddings, corporate training videos and also suitable for a 'b' camera in a video movie production. I have a Canon XL2 and two GL2's for my productions. This is a great choice for serious video.
