Shoot Outside the Box
Words: Tom Samiljan
Ideal for beginners with deep pockets, the Canon GL2 miniDV camcorder is light (about 2.5 lbs) and easy-to-use. Improved and added manual controls -- shutter speed, audio -- will appeal to more experienced filmmakers who want some artistic flexibility. Equipped with Canon's professional L-series Flourite lenses and three CCDs, the GL2 counts among its best features a 30 FPS frame mode, which captures professional looking, richly colored images. The camera also functions well in low-light situations. All in all, a great camera that gives Sony's VX2000 a serious run for its money.
