Canon XL-1/XL-1s

 
XL-1s resting on hard carrying case.

The Canon XL-1 is a three-CCD standard-definition camcorder made from 1997 to 2001. The camera was designed for the prosumer market, and was very popular with independent filmmakers. The XL-1 was the follow-up camera to the GL-1, and it adds new features such as a more powerful 3CCD system. The successor to the XL-1s is the Canon XL-2. The XL-1 and XL-1s have many features of a high-end camera such as interchangeable lenses, viewfinders, and XLR inputs. Many features of the XL-1s were carried over into the Canon GL-2 and XL-2.

The Canon XL-1 and the XL-1s were designed to be very customizable. The camera's features include:

  • 4:3, and electronic 16:9 (non native) anamorphic aspect ratios.
  • 60i, as well as "Frame" 30p picture modes.
  • Optical Image Stabilization with the included 16X L ISII lens.
  • ND Filter

The feature-length film 28 Days Later was partly shot using an XL-1.[1]

The camera was also used on iCarly from 2007 to 2012, when Freddie Benson uses to shoot the webshow.

Canon XL-2

The Canon XL-2, released in 2004, is Canon's prosumer 3CCD standard-definition camcorder. The XL-2 is the big brother to the GL family and the successor of the similar looking Canon XL-1s. It is succeeded by the Canon XL-H1 with a similar 20x lens and similar design, but in black.

The Canon XL-2 was designed to be very customizable, along with an array of pro-grade features. Some of these include:

  • 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios
  • 60i, 24p, and 30p frame rates
    • with selectable 2:3 or 2:3:3:2 pulldown in 24p mode
  • 4-channel audio
  • Optical Image Stabilization with the included 20X L IS lens
  • Control of gamma, knee, and much more to get the desired picture
  • Open architecture Design
  • Interchangeable lenses, one of the most popular lenses is the 3x zoom wide angle lens often used for short films as it has a low price.

The camera also has 2 XLR inputs in the back, as well as the capability to add 2 more with an adapter that plugs into the accessory shoe. This makes it useful for use with wireless microphones or other audio sources. The XL2 records to a miniDV tape and can export to a computer via a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. The XL2 is one of only a few cameras that can record to all 4 miniDV audio tracks simultaneously.

Canon XL H1

 
The Canon XL-H1 HDV camera, with a few accessories.

The Canon XL H1 is Canon's first HDV camcorder with interchangeable lenses. It is the successor to the Canon XL-2. It can shoot in the HDV standard resolution of 1440×1080 pixels and has 3 native interlaced 1440×1080 CCDs (The photosites are 1.33:1 aspect ratio, allowing for a full 16:9 frame) where Sony's HVR-V1U has 960×1080 diagonal photosites, and Panasonic's AG-HVX200 pixel shifted 960×540 (goes to 1280×1080 but theoretically with pixel shift, has a resolution of 1440×810).

The camera can also shoot in standard definition in either 16:9 or 4:3. It has an HD-SDI uncompressed output. There's also component uncompressed HD output.

Shooting formats

NTSC configuration:

  • 1080: 60i, 30f, 24f.
  • 480: 60i, 30f, 24f.

PAL configuration:

  • 1080: 50i, 25f.
  • 576: 50i, 25f.

Users can pay for Canon to re-configure the camera to shoot in 50i and 25f. 24f, not to be taken as 24p, is derived from cooler running interlaced CCDs that are clocked at 48 Hz. Every two of the 48 fields are captured at precisely the same moment in time providing an image capture in camera without the need of any additional internal cooling devices for the CCDs. The digital signal processor that enables the CCDs to capture in the "f" frame rate is called DIGIC DV II (DIGital Image Core – DigitalVideo version II). The technology is similar to the DIGIC II that Canon uses for their digital still cameras. Much of the technology is being kept under wraps, and the manufacturer of the CCDs is being kept secret.

Compatibility

The XL H1 is shipped by Canon in one of two basic configurations, aiming the unit at either NTSC or PAL markets. The NTSC configuration supports NTSC DV and NTSC HDV 1080i60 30f and 24f. The PAL configuration supports PAL DV and HDV at 1080i50. A modification is available from a Canon Authorised Service Centre to make a single unit capable of both sets of systems, allowing users to switch "personality" through an on-screen menu selection. Owners of the PAL / 1080i50 version will probably require this modification, as it is a pre-requisite to obtaining 24f operation.

At present, the XL H1 24f and 30f HDV is supported by major non-linear editing systems such as Canopus/Grass Valley Edius 5.0, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, Apple Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and Avid Xpress Pro. As of January 29, 2007, Final Cut Pro does not support standard definition 24f or 30f.

1080i60 and 1080i50 are cross-compatible with Sony's implementation of HDV; Canon 1080i50 and 1080i60 can play on Sony HDV cameras and decks. Canon's 24f, 25f, and 30f are not cross-compatible with Sony's implementation of HDV. No 1080 HDV footage will play on JVC HDV cameras or decks.

2008 updates

In 2008, Canon updated their XL line with the addition of the XL H1A and XL H1S. The H1A and H1S are almost exactly the same except for the exclusion of the "Jackpack" (HD SDI, Genlock, Timecode) on the H1A. The kit lens includes an iris ring and a more sensitive zoom. The H1S and H1A also have a stronger headphone jack. They are no longer made out of plastic, but metal, making them less prone to breaking.

Canon XH-A1(s)/XH-G1(s)

 
Canon XH A1

The XH A1 and the XH G1 are professional handheld HDV camcorders manufactured by Canon. The form factor of the cameras is a close successor to the Canon GL2, with the newer HDV models being slightly larger and heavier. The cameras are marketed towards independent and documentary filmmakers, and for broadcasters and journalists for electronic news gathering.

Both cameras share the same basic design and body, though the XH G1 is geared towards professional multi-camera production and includes connections for HD-SDI/SD-SDI Out, genlock, and time code. The cameras were originally released in 2006, the updated versions XH-A1s and XH G1s came out in December 2008.

The Canon XH A1 has been used in a variety of applications in broadcast, on-line, and theatrical productions. Use of the camera in professional applications includes the Chicago Tribune's on-line videos,[2] and the camera was used for the production of the motion picture Crank: High Voltage.[3]

Technical details

 
The XH A1 with a typical ENG setup

The camera is capable of shooting and recording with either 60 Hz or 50 Hz scanning rates. The default rate depends on the region where the camera is sold, but the camcorder can be made 50 Hz / 60 Hz switchable for additional fee.[4] Video is recorded to MiniDV cassettes with a maximum record time of 80 minutes. CCDs are the image sensor technology used in the camera with a resolution of 1440 × 1080 in high definition Mode. When recording in standard definition in a 4:3 aspect ratio an area of 1080 × 1080 pixels is used on the sensor, and the entire 1440 × 1080 sensor is used for 16:9 standard definition recording.[5]

Customizations to the image on the camera include gamma, knee, black levels, color gain, and sharpness settings. These settings allow the operator to develop a look for the production within the camera.

Shooting modes of both HDV and DV include 60i, 30F, and 24F for a 60 Hz version. 50 Hz version offers recording modes of 50i and 25F. Vertical resolution of the progressive video shot in "F" mode is about 25% lower than theoretically possible, because it is generated from interlaced CCD sensors by using row-pair summation, but is still higher than the resolution of a single field.[6]

Tapes, recorded in HDV "F" mode are compatible with Native Progressive Recording mode offered on some Sony camcorders. A progressive video output is available via a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. 1080i or 480i component video is via a D3 connector more commonly seen on Japanese consumer electronics. To preserve compatibility with existing interlaced equipment, 480i composite video is always available via either a BNC connector, or a 3.5mm TRS connector. Video shot in DV "F" mode is recorded to tape in interlaced format.

2008 updates

Canon released its model XH A1S and XH G1s in 2008. Updated features include acceleration/deceleration control of the zoom, separate audio sensitivity settings for the two input XLR audio channels and the ability to simultaneously record sound from the input and external microphone.[7]

Optics

 
The XH A1 lens with its three control rings visible

The built-in lens has a focal length of 4.5 mm - 90 mm (equivalent to 32.5 mm - 650 mm for 35 mm), with a maximum f/stop of f/1.6. Canon also includes its image stabilization technology on the camera, the same technology used in many of their Single-lens reflex camera lenses. The lens body has three rings affecting focus, zoom and aperture; however these rings do not manually drive the lens. Instead, sensors measure the movement of the rings and electronically drive the lens through built-in motors allowing for smoother operation and more feedback telling the user exactly what focal range, aperture f-number and zoom number the lens is set to. The lens thread supports 72 mm filters and adapters such as fish-eye and wide angle lenses. Modern devices such as the Letus35 also allow for 35 mm lenses to be attached providing a very shallow depth of field and create a more "film" like feel which is often desired by many amateur film makers and allows for even greater operational flexibility of the XH A1.

Audio

The XH A1 provides two channels of audio through the built-in microphone or via external XLR audio. In HDV mode the camera can record two 16-bit channels at a rate of 192 kbit/s and 1.5 Mbit/s in DV mode.


The official web site states that (HDV standard):
HDV: 2-channel recording MPEG1 Audio Layer II: (bit rate 384 kbit/s)
In SD mode:
DV: 2-channel recording PCM digital recording: 16 bits (48 kHz), 12 bits (32 kHz, 12 bits selectable).
XH-A1s improves audio connections and addressing flaws from the original XH-A1.

Canon XM2/GL2

 
The GL2 has fewer features than the GL1, but is much more portable.

Canon XM2/GL2 is a PAL or NTSC Mini DV camcorder, the successor to the Canon XM1/GL1.

Features

Part of their high-end, "prosumer" range, notable features include zebra patterning, colour gain, phase and sharpness. It has a 2.5 inch LCD display and 0.44 inch viewfinder, a bulky auto/manual focus button on the front, and a large rubber manual focus ring for quick or pull focusing. It also includes such features as 31⁄4″ CCDs, manual and auto focus and white balance, and the ability to attach a wide variety of accessories, making it popular with amateur and independent filmmakers. It has a fixed fluorite zoom lens and records to MiniDV cassettes. Its operating weight, when batteries and tapes are included, is under four pounds.

The GL2 differs from its predecessor, the Canon GL1, in a few notable ways. First, The CCD was improved to allow more accurate edge-to-edge imaging[clarification needed]. While this was entirely in the overscan area of broadcast television, the improvement is visible in conversions to film and in video distributed on the web. Slower shutter speeds were introduced, all the way down to 1/8 of a second in video mode. The GL2 also introduced features for digital effects and colour bars in-camera, as well as 1.7 Megapixel still camera features for use with an SD Card.

Specifications

  • ¼″ 470K pixel 3CCD with pixel shift,
  • Canon Professional L-Series Fluorite Lens,
  • 20x optical zoom/100x digital zoom,
  • Optical image stabiliser,
  • Direction accurate stereo microphone,
  • Two-channel audio level manual control with VU meter,
  • 2.5″ 200K colour LCD screen,

The MVX250i (as it is known in Europe), or the Elura 70 (as it is known in North America), is a digital video camera manufactured under the Canon brand. One of its features is an optional aspect ratio of 16:9.[13]

Canon HV10

The Canon HV10 is a consumer high definition video (HDV) camcorder released in September 2006.

The HV10 features both HDV and DV recording. DV can be recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 formats. In Europe, the camcorder is called the HV10E and features PAL DV recording in addition to HDV 1080i50 mode. The HV10 does 1080i60 and NTSC. It can capture video at the full 1920 × 1080 interlaced resolution, however the horizontal resolution is reduced when it is stored to tape in the HDV standard of 1440 × 1080 resolution.

Canon HV20

 
Canon HV20 camcoder

The Canon HV20 is an HDV camcorder. Announced January 30, 2007, it is the first consumer-grade camcorder to shoot 1080p24.[14] Consequently, it has become popular with low-budget film/video makers. It is the successor to the HV10, which was Canon's first consumer HDV camcorder.

The NTSC-region camera shoots at 24p which gives a film-like look in PF24 mode, using 2:3 pulldown in a 60i stream. In PAL regions, it can record in native 25p mode and as such does not require the same pull-down removal techniques that the NTSC edition does. The camera is capable of recording in both HDV and DV formats, on MiniDV, though it's unable to record 24p in the DV format.

The camera uses a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor, which is shared with other consumer high definition cameras manufactured by Canon, such as the HV10, HR10 and HG10. The replacement for the HV20, the HV30, was released in March 2008, soon followed by the HV40.

Canon HV30

 
Canon HV30 camcorder

The Canon HV30 is an HDV camcorder. It was announced in January 2008 and went on sale in March 2008. In the NTSC version, it is the first consumer-grade camcorder to shoot 1080p30 video in addition to PF24 24fps mode that was pioneered by its predecessor, the HV20. The HV30 has since been replaced by the 2009 model, the HV40.

The NTSC-region camera shoots in three modes: the standard 60i interlaced video, 24p film-like video with 2:3 pulldown, and 30p PsF-style video. In PAL regions, it can record in 25p mode, which is also recorded to tape in PsF fashion. The PAL version does not record 30p or 24p. The camera is capable of recording in both HDV and DV formats, onto MiniDV tape, though it's unable to record 24p in the DV format.

The camera uses a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor, which is shared with other consumer high definition cameras manufactured by Canon, such as the HV10, HV20, HV40, HR10, HG10, and DC50.

Canon HV40

The Canon HV40 is an HDV camcorder. It was announced in January 2009.[15]

The NTSC version supports native 24p in addition to 24p-over-60i. The latter was the only 24 FPS format available on the HV20 and HV30.

Canon HG10

 
Canon HG10

The Canon HG10 is Canon's first AVCHD codec high definition, hard disk drive camcorder and also the first hard disk drive camera from the company. Its hardware is similar to the popular HV20. The 1/2.7" bayer pattern CMOS sensor in the camera is manufactured by Canon and is used in other Canon cameras such as the Canon HV10, Canon HV20, Canon HV30 and Canon HR10. The size of the hard disk drive is 40 GB. One of the key features of the 60 Hz-market models is its ability to capture 24frame/s progressive video in the PF24 mode which is recorded as 60frame/s interlaced video to the hard disk drive by use of a 2:3 pulldown.

Canon VIXIA HF100 camcorder

The VIXIA HF100 and VIXIA HF10[16] are tapeless camcorders unveiled in January 2008 and put on sale in April 2008. Fifteen VIXIA HF10 units were used as crash-cams during the filming of Crank: High Voltage. The camcorders record high definition AVCHD video onto a secure digital memory card. It has no viewfinder and no focus ring. Video can be recorded in four quality settings: FXP (1920 × 1080, 17 Mbit/s), XP+ (1440 × 1080, 12 Mbit/s), SP (1440 × 1080, 7 Mbit/s), and LP (1440 × 1080, 5 Mbit/s). A SDHC card with the capacity of 16GB can hold up to 2 hours of video recorded at highest quality setting.

When recording to a memory card, the recording time depends only on capacity of the card. The HF100 uses full-size SDHC memory cards. One 4GB card can fit roughly 30 minutes of video at highest quality setting (FXP). A Class 4 or higher card is required to be able to record in FXP mode. In earlier versions of the firmware, Class 10 cards could not be used to record in FXP mode. Firmware version 1.0.3.0 released in July 2011 enabled support for Class 10 cards.

The VIXIA HF10 has 16GB of internal memory, complementing the same full-size SDHC memory card slot as the HF100.

The distinguishing features of this camcorder include:

  • External microphone jack
  • Headphone jack
  • Mini Advanced Shoe (proprietary)
  • Threaded lens barrel for attachments (37mm)

1997 to 2001 The camera was designed for the prosumer market and was very popular with independent filmmakers The XL 1 was the follow up camera to the GL 1 and it adds new features such as a more powerful 3CCD system The successor to the XL 1s is the Canon XL 2 The XL 1 and XL 1s have many features of a high end camera such as interchangeable lenses viewfinders and XLR inputs Many features of the XL 1s were carried over into the Canon GL 2 and XL 2 The Canon XL 1 and the XL 1s were designed to be very customizable The camera s features include 4 3 and electronic 16 9 non native anamorphic aspect ratios 60i as well as Frame 30p picture modes Optical Image Stabilization with the included 16X L ISII lens ND FilterThe feature length film 28 Days Later was partly shot using an XL 1 1 The camera was also used on iCarly from 2007 to 2012 when Freddie Benson uses to shoot the webshow Canon XL 2 Edit Canon XL2 with some peripheral attachments including wireless microphones and external monitor The Canon XL 2 released in 2004 is Canon s prosumer 3CCD standard definition camcorder The XL 2 is the big brother to the GL family and the successor of the similar looking Canon XL 1s It is succeeded by the Canon XL H1 with a similar 20x lens and similar design but in black The Canon XL 2 was designed to be very customizable along with an array of pro grade features Some of these include 4 3 and 16 9 aspect ratios 60i 24p and 30p frame rates with selectable 2 3 or 2 3 3 2 pulldown in 24p mode 4 channel audio Optical Image Stabilization with the included 20X L IS lens Control of gamma knee and much more to get the desired picture Open architecture Design Interchangeable lenses one of the most popular lenses is the 3x zoom wide angle lens often used for short films as it has a low price The camera also has 2 XLR inputs in the back as well as the capability to add 2 more with an adapter that plugs into the accessory shoe This makes it useful for use with wireless microphones or other audio sources The XL2 records to a miniDV tape and can export to a computer via a FireWire IEEE 1394 port The XL2 is one of only a few cameras that can record to all 4 miniDV audio tracks simultaneously Canon XL H1 Edit The Canon XL H1 HDV camera with a few accessories The Canon XL H1 is Canon s first HDV camcorder with interchangeable lenses It is the successor to the Canon XL 2 It can shoot in the HDV standard resolution of 1440 1080 pixels and has 3 native interlaced 1440 1080 CCDs The photosites are 1 33 1 aspect ratio allowing for a full 16 9 frame where Sony s HVR V1U has 960 1080 diagonal photosites and Panasonic s AG HVX200 pixel shifted 960 540 goes to 1280 1080 but theoretically with pixel shift has a resolution of 1440 810 The camera can also shoot in standard definition in either 16 9 or 4 3 It has an HD SDI uncompressed output There s also component uncompressed HD output Shooting formats Edit NTSC configuration 1080 60i 30f 24f 480 60i 30f 24f PAL configuration 1080 50i 25f 576 50i 25f Users can pay for Canon to re configure the camera to shoot in 50i and 25f 24f not to be taken as 24p is derived from cooler running interlaced CCDs that are clocked at 48 Hz Every two of the 48 fields are captured at precisely the same moment in time providing an image capture in camera without the need of any additional internal cooling devices for the CCDs The digital signal processor that enables the CCDs to capture in the f frame rate is called DIGIC DV II DIGital Image Core DigitalVideo version II The technology is similar to the DIGIC II that Canon uses for their digital still cameras Much of the technology is being kept under wraps and the manufacturer of the CCDs is being kept secret Compatibility Edit The XL H1 is shipped by Canon in one of two basic configurations aiming the unit at either NTSC or PAL markets The NTSC configuration supports NTSC DV and NTSC HDV 1080i60 30f and 24f The PAL configuration supports PAL DV and HDV at 1080i50 A modification is available from a Canon Authorised Service Centre to make a single unit capable of both sets of systems allowing users to switch personality through an on screen menu selection Owners of the PAL 1080i50 version will probably require this modification as it is a pre requisite to obtaining 24f operation At present the XL H1 24f and 30f HDV is supported by major non linear editing systems such as Canopus Grass Valley Edius 5 0 Sony Vegas Adobe Premiere Pro 2 0 Apple Final Cut Pro 5 1 2 and Avid Xpress Pro As of January 29 2007 Final Cut Pro does not support standard definition 24f or 30f 1080i60 and 1080i50 are cross compatible with Sony s implementation of HDV Canon 1080i50 and 1080i60 can play on Sony HDV cameras and decks Canon s 24f 25f and 30f are not cross compatible with Sony s implementation of HDV No 1080 HDV footage will play on JVC HDV cameras or decks 2008 updates Edit In 2008 Canon updated their XL line with the addition of the XL H1A and XL H1S The H1A and H1S are almost exactly the same except for the exclusion of the Jackpack HD SDI Genlock Timecode on the H1A The kit lens includes an iris ring and a more sensitive zoom The H1S and H1A also have a stronger headphone jack They are no longer made out of plastic but metal making them less prone to breaking Canon XH A1 s XH G1 s Edit Canon XH A1 The XH A1 and the XH G1 are professional handheld HDV camcorders manufactured by Canon The form factor of the cameras is a close successor to the Canon GL2 with the newer HDV models being slightly larger and heavier The cameras are marketed towards independent and documentary filmmakers and for broadcasters and journalists for electronic news gathering Both cameras share the same basic design and body though the XH G1 is geared towards professional multi camera production and includes connections for HD SDI SD SDI Out genlock and time code The cameras were originally released in 2006 the updated versions XH A1s and XH G1s came out in December 2008 The Canon XH A1 has been used in a variety of applications in broadcast on line and theatrical productions Use of the camera in professional applications includes the Chicago Tribune s on line videos 2 and the camera was used for the production of the motion picture Crank High Voltage 3 Technical details Edit The XH A1 with a typical ENG setupThe camera is capable of shooting and recording with either 60 Hz or 50 Hz scanning rates The default rate depends on the region where the camera is sold but the camcorder can be made 50 Hz 60 Hz switchable for additional fee 4 Video is recorded to MiniDV cassettes with a maximum record time of 80 minutes CCDs are the image sensor technology used in the camera with a resolution of 1440 1080 in high definition Mode When recording in standard definition in a 4 3 aspect ratio an area of 1080 1080 pixels is used on the sensor and the entire 1440 1080 sensor is used for 16 9 standard definition recording 5 The XH A1 showing a professional shotgun microphone and XLR audio Customizations to the image on the camera include gamma knee black levels color gain and sharpness settings These settings allow the operator to develop a look for the production within the camera Shooting modes of both HDV and DV include 60i 30F and 24F for a 60 Hz version 50 Hz version offers recording modes of 50i and 25F Vertical resolution of the progressive video shot in F mode is about 25 lower than theoretically possible because it is generated from interlaced CCD sensors by using row pair summation but is still higher than the resolution of a single field 6 Tapes recorded in HDV F mode are compatible with Native Progressive Recording mode offered on some Sony camcorders A progressive video output is available via a FireWire IEEE 1394 port 1080i or 480i component video is via a D3 connector more commonly seen on Japanese consumer electronics To preserve compatibility with existing interlaced equipment 480i composite video is always available via either a BNC connector or a 3 5mm TRS connector Video shot in DV F mode is recorded to tape in interlaced format 2008 updates Edit Canon released its model XH A1S and XH G1s in 2008 Updated features include acceleration deceleration control of the zoom separate audio sensitivity settings for the two input XLR audio channels and the ability to simultaneously record sound from the input and external microphone 7 Optics Edit The XH A1 lens with its three control rings visibleThe built in lens has a focal length of 4 5 mm 90 mm equivalent to 32 5 mm 650 mm for 35 mm with a maximum f stop of f 1 6 Canon also includes its image stabilization technology on the camera the same technology used in many of their Single lens reflex camera lenses The lens body has three rings affecting focus zoom and aperture however these rings do not manually drive the lens Instead sensors measure the movement of the rings and electronically drive the lens through built in motors allowing for smoother operation and more feedback telling the user exactly what focal range aperture f number and zoom number the lens is set to The lens thread supports 72 mm filters and adapters such as fish eye and wide angle lenses Modern devices such as the Letus35 also allow for 35 mm lenses to be attached providing a very shallow depth of field and create a more film like feel which is often desired by many amateur film makers and allows for even greater operational flexibility of the XH A1 Audio Edit Canon XH A1 showing two channels of XLR audio with a number of features operated with switches The XH A1 provides two channels of audio through the built in microphone or via external XLR audio In HDV mode the camera can record two 16 bit channels at a rate of 192 kbit s and 1 5 Mbit s in DV mode The official web site states that HDV standard HDV 2 channel recording MPEG1 Audio Layer II bit rate 384 kbit s In SD mode DV 2 channel recording PCM digital recording 16 bits 48 kHz 12 bits 32 kHz 12 bits selectable XH A1s improves audio connections and addressing flaws from the original XH A1 1 Canon XM2 GL2 Edit The GL2 has fewer features than the GL1 but is much more portable Canon XM2 GL2 is a PAL or NTSC Mini DV camcorder the successor to the Canon XM1 GL1 Features Edit Part of their high end prosumer range notable features include zebra patterning colour gain phase and sharpness It has a 2 5 inch LCD display and 0 44 inch viewfinder a bulky auto manual focus button on the front and a large rubber manual focus ring for quick or pull focusing It also

fixed fluorite zoom lens and records to MiniDV cassettes Its operating weight when batteries and tapes are included is under four pounds The GL2 differs from its predecessor the Canon GL1 in a few notable ways First The CCD was improved to allow more accurate edge to edge imaging clarification needed While this was entirely in the overscan area of broadcast television the improvement is visible in conversions to film and in video distributed on the web Slower shutter speeds were introduced all the way down to 1 8 of a second in video mode The GL2 also introduced features for digital effects and colour bars in camera as well as 1 7 Megapixel still camera features for use with an SD Card Specifications Edit 470K pixel 3CCD with pixel shift Canon Professional L Series Fluorite Lens 20x
