General Comments

In a two-year span I have done three important projects that went onto DVD, and maybe five family home videos. I'm getting pretty good at using the manual settings to get rich colors and high quality shots. But lately, as I watch the video from the last two projects, I am noticing a couple of dead pixels, tiny white spots that are always there. They are especially noticeable when you zoom in on someones face. So on the next project I borrowed a GL2 from my friend to avoid having this flaw in my shots, but his camera is about the same age, and it also has this problem. I called Canon to see what it might be, and it turns out that it is something wrong with the CCD and prism system. The Part is $500.00 and the labor starts at $400.00. In other words, it is not worth fixing. So I consider the Canon GL2 a throw away piece of junk after about a year and a half. For real quality, check out the Sony VX2000.
