Question: Is the camera compatible with hp computers
Document: The Canon GL1 is a professional DV camera, that is in the marginally afordable range for general consumers. The piture quality is full professional broadcast quality, and looks far better than any other Digital Camcorder that I have used in the sub $3000 range. It is compatible with more firewire cards and computer programs than any other products on the market. Quality, compatability, service, are all best available. DEFINATELY worth the price difference over all other general consumer cameras.
I loved this type and quality of the camcorder. I never would have thought I would eventually be able to posses this camcorder but thanks to amazon and the reasonable prices it was possible for me to buy it. After i had filmed almost everything i bought the fire wire to transfer my footage and the camcorder did not cooperate i plugged it in 3 types of computers and I was not aollowed to transfer anything. The computer detected a UNKNOWN DEVICE SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED and i did not cause that.
Camera is a super nice set up. Unbelievable picture and sound quality can be attained with this camera. One of the best in it's price class.
In low lighting conditions, the picture NEVER becomes the least bit grainy. I am continually impressed, and am impressing others with this camera. It is perfect for the beginner or the pro.
I bought this camera about 10 months back, and at the time made a compromise in choosing it because I couldn't afford the XL1S. What I've learned though after using it for so long now is that Canon didn't compromise on this camera.
Truthfully, using the camera under these cirucumstances is rare, and this is the only criticism I've got for the system. An often overlooked feature of DV is that the audio quality is about the same as CD, and is digital. This means that even your home movies now have DAT audio quality!
Im  started on a film and I want to buy this camera. One thing though does any one know the best Microphone to use? Biderectional, Superdirectional,Shotgun, Cardiod or Omnidirectional? Please Email the awnser! Thanks....
This camera is great. I use it on a daily basis, but also for extra-curricular activities. Crystal clear image. onyl complaint is short battery life; and that can be fixed by having multiple batteries or by getting larger batteries that last longer.
This is by far the best camera for this price range. HOWEVER don't pay more than 2100-2200$US for it. I bought it for even less than that. Its size at first gives it the appearance of being a &quot;home-video&quot; recorder and not quite the sleak professional look that the XL1 has.
When compared in numbers to some of the 3CCD models of Sony, you may think that this is a lower resolution camera (which can be a very deceiving thing). It is recognized that a camera with a high resolution in numbers does not equal a pleasing, or sharper image. When you compare the color of a Sony and this GL1 (or any other Canon against a Sony, for that matter), there will be no comparison.
Answer: The output of this camera is on IEEE1394 (firewire).  It should be compatible with any computer that has a compatible IEEE1394 input or can have an input card installed into it.
