Canon GL-2E - XM2 "PAL" Mini DV 3 CCD Camcorder

Setting a performance benchmark for a prosumer level PAL camcorder, the GL2E offers high-quality digital video - up to 530 lines of resolution. Building on Canon's expertise in 35mm photographic and broadcast TV lenses, the GL2 is equipped with Canon's exclusive L-Series Fluorite optical technology for outstanding imaging power and shooting versatility in a lightweight, portable design.

The camcorder's three CCDs deliver outstanding picture quality, highly accurate color reproduction and a wide dynamic range with virtually no color noise. On top of that, Canon has improved a broadcast technology to create a new form of Pixel Shift, producing greater picture quality than that of camcorders using CCDs with almost twice the number of pixels.
In addition to the camcorder's high video quality, it incorporates a built-in Digital Photo mode for capturing crisp, high-definition photos up to 1488 x 1128 pixel.
