Best image anywhere near this price.

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: Absolutely a best buy, this camera will be the new standard for the supremely low budget video producer.
Review: This camera delivers the goods. 3 chip CCD setup with 800K pixels per CCD plus Leicia Dicomar 10X optics make for image quality that beats everything anywhere close to this price. Canon GL2 and Sony VX2000 have very little over this cameras' image...

Still a great value in the 3-chip market

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: When you screen your video, many will not believe that you saved this much money.
Review: I had been looking for a 3 CCD camera for quite some time. Having used the Canon ZR10 for several years, I had been strongly considering the GL2. However, over the past year, my Canon started to give me more and more problems and the price of the...

Filled with features, well thought through camcorder, producing remarkable movies.

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's an excellent camcorder for the money
Review: I used this camcorder for about two weeks. I am very impressed with the quality of the most important features for the digital camcorder.

The color reproduction is excellent unless it's not too dark. The noise level is almost none, again...
