Product Review
Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom is really a headturner for every video enthusiasts. It's got all the features you need for a serious videography. With precision optics, superior digital processing, and a sleek innovative design, the GL2 fully complements the user's vision and passion for excellence.
Canon has intentionally shifted the green CCD half a pixel horizontally and vertically for more accurate interpolation, resulting in an image that Canon claims rivals those from cameras with 410,000-pixel CCDs. Each pixel is 72 square microns, which is about 1.5 times the size as those in competing camcorders. The GL2 also incorporates a 20x Professional L-Series fluorite optical zoom lens, which is equivalent to 39.5-790mm, as well as a 100x digital zoom.
The GL2's audio recording system includes an omni-directional microphone, meters and dials for separate control over two audio channels, and an option to add an adapter compatible with professional XLR-terminated microphones. Canon's superb optical stabilization system corrects camera shake instantly and you can turn your GL2 into a still camera by switching to 1.7-megapixel photo mode and capturing high-resolution still images onto the camcorder's MultiMedia/Secure Digital card. So if youre ready to leap for the next stage, the GL2 is the camcorder for you!
