About this product
Product Information
Canon's venerable GL2 camcorder has proven itself to be tough, durable, and capable over years of service, lauded for both its image quality and resistance to the abuse it can take in the field. A Standard Definition camera, it uses primarily MiniDV tapes rather than flash memory. This makes it a good option for those wandering in marginal parts of the world where more delicate electronics might not hold up. It can also record onto SD or MMC cards, giving you a number of media choices. While the minicassettes may not be as compact as memory cards, they are tiny enough to pack dozens along if need be, and each will hold from 80 to 220 minutes of video, depending on the speed you choose. It records both light and sound in digital format, so editing is as easy (or not) as you're used to.Product Identifiers

GL2 Pro
Fantastic product!! Arrived as advertised. Great screen resolution. Excellent camera for my music video production. Numerous accessories to enhance the camera itself. The 20x zoom is crisp, clear, and vibrant. The unit comes with two lens attachments for reduced glare and extra focus. The microphones (L and R) really bring out the surround sound feeling during playback. Forgot about the level of technology at that time, bummed out about the SD card max is 8GB, however, I can hook it up to my computer while recording or attach an external drive for digital storage or I can use the cassette tape for recording. Overall, extremely satisfied with my purchase. Definately a quality product 20 years later and still holds strong against 2022 technology - mind blowing!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Lightweight Canon GL2 Camcorder
I have been looking for this, professional digital Canon GL2 camcorder, for quite some time now. I am very thankful for being able to find it here, and get it at the price that I got if for. It looks brand new or like it has not even been used. Also, it came with a bunch of accessories that I can use, that I didnt expect to get when I purchased it. This is my first professional camcorder. And, I am very excited for when the time comes to use it. SkaterwuzhereVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome
Exactly what I needed. Replacement batteries are cheap and I was able to find a dvr compatible with camcorders to record to an SD card. All together with the gl2 included I was able to get a professional recording set up that shoots digital for about a 1/4 of the price. So pretty awesomeVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
