Title: Good quality video...if the Camera's working
Review: My GL-2 just came back from Canon's repair shop last month - another $400 to replace the cassette drive. I paid $1900 for my GL-2 three years ago, and the most recent fix brings my grand total for repairs to $1600! Pros: Great video, great audio. Cons: This thing breaks all the time! I didn't read any reviews before I purchased my GL-2, having used Canon SLR cameras and lenses since 1993. HAVE I LEARNED MY LESSON! Just look in my wallet..not much left in there. I love my GL-2, but there are better cameras out there for the money. This model has several known defects that Canon chooses to ignore (only ten tapes through since the cassette drive was replaced the last time). I babied my GL-2 - seriously, I took better care of this than any camera I've ever owned - and it broke anyway...three times. I'm tranfering my video over to a digital hard drive and then putting my GL-2 out to pasture.
Is the review positive or negative?
