Best semi-pro camcorder? Closest there is.

Pros Full manual spec. Well laid out. That lens!.
Cons Bulk. Plastic bodied. No stop frame function. AF switch resets.
Recommended it? Yes

The successor to the outgoing XM1/GL1 adds manual audio record levels to the spec sheet and a beefed up still camera.
Canon pretty much got it right with the XM1/GL1 so there is little to fault on this machine.
The optics are the best in it's class (20x optical zoom, vs 12x on the... Read full review »

Pros Lens 20x zoom. Video/sound quality. Features.
Cons Harder to balance than older full size shoulder cams. Need Glidecam.
Recommended it? Yes

I was looking for a new miniDV cam for a long time. I had to make sure that the choice was researched and researched so I didn't go wrong. I knew I wanted a 3CCD camera. That seperates colors and luminance and contrast I think. Something like that. You can look that up and see for yourself exactly... Read full review »

Cons Nearly out of date, Not as portable as a Flip
Recommended it? Yes

These bad boys have been my bread and butter for the last few years. I have shot short films, Youtube Commentaries, Night scenes, and creative situations with great confidence and 3CCDs for picture quality.
I bought 2 of them about 5 years ago for a steal at $2300 per camera and now you can buy... Read full review »

Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom

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.
