This outstanding performer raises the bar for prosumer MiniDV camcorders. More |

"With the GL2, Canon has created a camcorder with a wealth of features, each selected to elevate further the standard against which other camcorders are judged." More |
| Camcorder Info |
Canon?s MiniDV prosumer GL2 is Canon?s much anticipated replacement for the popular GL1 camcorder. The GL2 has an MSRP of $2799, but you should be able to find it on the street for around $2400 or better. With the GL2, Canon did not make many changes, in fact the lens is reported to be identical to the GL1 so upgrading is questionable. The most obvious comparison for the GL2 is to the Sony DCR-TRV950 so throughout the review I?ll compare the GL2 to the DCR-TRV950. All in all, the GL2 is a great camcorder for recording video which gives you ultimate control over your picture, making it the perfect choice for the serious videographer. More |

The Canon GL2, one of the most anticipated new video cameras this year, is the successor to the popular GL1. Like a warm bowl of porridge, the GL2 is just right - not too small, not too expensive and yet it has nearly all of the features most advanced users will ever need. For serious hobbyists and professionals looking for a no-compromise fully manual camcorder that weighs in at less than three pounds, the 3-CCD GL2 is one of only a few cameras you must consider in your research.

Slightly longer than the GL1, but using less power, now allowing for much longer battery run times that rival the Sony Infolithium batteries. The GL2 does have a slight rearrangement to the control buttons, but not enough to throw off a seasoned GL1 user. Very easy to learn. More |

Although it possesses many of the features of its big brother, the XL1S, Canon s DM-XM2 has many followers among the pro and semi-pro fraternity. Let s see why it s such a favourite. More |

The Canon GL2 (like its predecessor, the GL1, and its big brother, the XL1) is helping to blur the line between consumer and professional video equipment. This camcorder borrows most of those cameras'' professional-quality components and puts them into a more compact, affordable camera. Though it''s small enough to carry around and doesn''t cost much more than a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder, the GL2 produces such high-quality results that it could be used as a broadcast video camera.
