Its in the shop!

( - 8/17/05)

I like the GL2 but the camera is very sensitive to any moisture. I live in hawaii in the rainforest area. I am constantly trying to find ways of storing camera without moisture or mold getting to it! The image stabilizer is not that good. I have used it without a tripod and you can see the camera shake in the images. I thinkl its a delicate camera and for what I piad for it Im always afraid Im going to break it! Its in the repair at Canon as we speak as the whole system shut down on me right at the mopment I was doing a favor for someone to video tape a meeting!!!The color quality is very good. A good camera if you cannot afford the best broadcast media cameras on the market. I just get worried about how many years this camera will serve me once warranty exp[ires. Its an expensive ordeal to have these fixed!
