Canon GL1 Mini DV Camcorder

The Canon GL1 is professional quality video equipment in a more compact, affordable camera. For the best possible picture quality, these cameras use three separate 270,000 pixel CCDs (one for each primary color). For great optical quality, the GL1 uses a fixed (non removable) 20x optical (100x digital) zoom L Series fluorite lens. Audio is recorded through the built in microphone which features two pairs of pickup elements. The electronics of the GL1 have many advanced features, including a number of programmed AE modes, as well as both shutter and aperture priority modes, spotlight mode and sand and snow mode which is designed to prevent dark, underexposed subjects in situations with bright backgrounds commonly found in sandy and snowy areas. The GL1 uses an IEEE 1394 port for digital editing and for transferring footage to and from other IEEE 1394 compliant devices making it easy to save and share your memories.

Pros Looks Good, 3-CCD's, Heavy Enough to be Stable
Cons No Manual Audio Recording Level Controls

While the Sony TRV900 DV camcorder is like a professional camcorder hidden in the body of a consumer, home-video cam, the Canon GL-1 is like a consumer-level camcorder hidden in a professional body. Actually, the two camcorders are quite similar, and you'll have to decide which features are most... Read full review »
