Canon gl2

Canon gl2

Great Unit,

This unit is pretty awesome especially with frame.
Also, a noteworthy thing is this camera first does 16 x 9 and then encoding producing a higher quality image than a comparable Sony model.

I’ve actually owned the precursor unit to this one, the GL1, and was also pleased with it.

This camera has the hotshoe feature and the longest OPTICAL zoom in its class.

Optical VS Digital, optical definitely wins.

This camera is all-a-round useful and also, this unit is actually the preferred camera of choice for many sports film-makers.

If you take this thing to the slopes like i have, strangers will come up to you and instantly recognize the unit.

Great with kenko lenses.

Only actual thing I’ve seen is that it doesn’t like low light, so adding a VL-3 is a must, or a VL-10 is recommended.

One thing to watch out for is that you must keep care of the camera. For example, you must get yourself a tape-head-cleaner. The Maxell’s are a good buy, but you could go OEM if you want to.
Also, don’t cheap out on the cassettes.
In my 6 years of using the GL1/GL2, I’ve always used TDK and JVC tapes. The JVCs come in a 6-pack and can be found a a best buy. The TDKs also come in a 6-pack, and you can find them at Costco.

For more reference, I have pushed this camera beyond its specification as it has been rained on, snowed on, and frozen to the point where there is actually lag in the LCDs and yet, it still works like brand new.

Definitely a good buy !  More Information…

Best camera I’ve ever used,

I’ve had this camera now for 6 months. I heard all the hype about it’s “faults” etc so was a little concerned. But, then I really started to read, and found that most of the issue was hype. Only some photographers in some specific conditions had the problem. Then Canon announced some hardware and firmware fixes.

This camera is just stunning. The quick and accurate AF is brilliant. It can lock on and track the target very well. It’s clearly sharper for centre focus but also does brilliant for landscape images and still portraits.

The fps and burst rate is second to none. It’s a beast when you set it off. I shoot mostly sport, so a nice burst can be the difference between capturing and missing that image.

The body is great. Not too heavy for what it does, and it’s balanced very well. The construction and weather sealing are great.

I could go on and on about just how good this camera is. It is well worth having a look at. So, go to your local store, feel the camera, fire off a burst and then there’s no going back.  More Information..
