Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I just received today (5/24/19) The the vender was Quality Discounts. I would highly recommend. This was their comment to sell the Canon GL2. Very Good condition.Condition: Used - Very Good - Camcorder looks great and functions perfectly. Comes with battery, battery charger, A/V cable, S-video cable, firewire, a brand new digital video tape, owners manual, wireless remote, lens hood, lens cap, and carrying case. Comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.***************************************************************************************************************************************I opened the box up. Very well packed. I did not see this video camera as a condition - used. It looked brand new. There was not a blemish on it. Including the bottom pad. The remote looked brand new. The manual as well. The cables were wrapped in rubber bands but they were in excellent condition. The camera bag I got looked as if it were brand new. I got new software. The camera works as if brand new. A little tricky to figure out how to navigated around the menu. But that was due to user being ignorant.

Beware, it doesn't come with software so unless you have it.. It's hard to download to your computer.. But the quality and accessibility is great!!! As a professional, I LOVE this camera and so does my husband.

Its a pretty good camera. Not anything extraordinary but better than a typical tape camcorder of the time. This is NOT an HD camcorder, but its a MiniDV cassette-based model. It's quite impressionable in terms of quality for a 2002 model. Video is free from grain. Low light quality isn't the best but average. The-chip video sensor; (considered a must for most amateur and professional videographers).Pros: Camcorder has the features you need today. It was built in 2002 ahead of it's time. Now, it still in line with the present video technology. Video can be imported to computer via FireWire. Pictures can be stored on Memory Cards. 3CCD camcorder. Quality comparative to that of a modern DVD or handheld standard definition camcorder. It also records in 16:3 Widescreen aspect ratio!Cons: Simply put, it's an OLD camcorder! Its perfect if you're looking for it as a gift. Or if you're going to shoot some average video but if you have more money or are really a stickler on quality and features, go for a higher-end HD camcorder and get something newer. Low light quality is grainy in dim settings. Although MiniDV is the preferred format for many for easy archival, its a slowly-dying format, loosing out to hard disk and flash-based DV and HD formats.I'd recommend this to entry-level videographers who don't yet have the funds for an expensive camcorder but want something professional.

lost my money with this camera and I feel cheated,The vendededor not a responsible person.The camera came defective, it turns on and then turns itself off and the seller would not cambiarmela and I returned the money.I do not recommend trading with this seller.

This camera is SPECTACULAR!!!! For about a year or two.Then the system tape rejection errors start (do your research). Once this happens it's to the canon repair shop you must go where they are currently charging $516 for the parts plus $400 for the labor plus taxes and shipping etc. I am now throwing my GL2 in the trash and saving up to buy a new one. Canon's repair costs are outrageous - especially when this problem has been complained about for YEARS. A Canon rep even told me to never use the camera to play or offload videos (why advertise it as a feature if its such a bad idea?). He advised that you should buy a cheaper video camera to do those types of tasks. Good advise.... but even if you do... remember to add that cost to the purchase price of the GL2- Disgruntled.

I ordered this camera (Canon GL2 Mini DV) in Jan 2011 and received it 4 days later in the mail. Seller (phaedranoir) was extremely prompt with delivery. Camera is in great condition, hardly used, and is practically new. All accessories were included, manual, remote, batteries, cords, etc. Great carrying case came along with camera. I highly recommend this buyer.I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Perfect condition and great camera. Love the optical zoom and manual balance and focus features. Overall best camera for features provided. Seller even sent a users manual and extra battery :).

We needed a good camera for a worship service that we were adding out our church. I found this camera for a great price, and it has done what we needed it to. However, it does not video in HD, and therefore, we have a need for another camera now.
