The Canon GL2 is one of the highest rated Prosumer Digital Camcorders. If you are an amateur to professional videographer This camera is the one for you.

Get Canon Gl-2 if you want some good shots! The 20x lens is one of the best feature Gl-2 has. GL-3 may be out in market, but no exact news yet. You will get superb video from this one. I compared the video between this GL-2 with many other home-type camcorders, and this GL-2 beats every one of them. Of course, this is expensive - the used one range between 1k to 1.5k while new one is about 2k.

My complain witll be the "eject tape" error. This is associated with many GL-2 owners. Canon may fix it for about $250. This should be something Canon should fix it for free!

The GL2 is a great camera with very good quality video. When buying on-line some dealers give a low price but the unit comes with no battery charger or lens etc. Deal with a company that does not use the bait and switch games. I'm very happy with the camera and it also picks up real good audio with the built in camera mic.
