Pros: Very sharp images when it works
Cons: No durability or reliability
The Bottom Line: Under very moderate use, and super-careful handling, the camera died after a mere 17 hours of total use. Very unacceptable in a high dollar product.
Review: We were among the first to purchase the GL-1. I had to drive to NJ from my home in Maryland. It took ...

Epinions Be a movie maker!

Review: If you are looking to simply capture those precious moments in life or want to make broadcast quality productions, this is the camera for you.

I obtained this camera because I wanted to be able to digitally edit what I filmed directly from my...
