June 2001: Although there's not a whole lot that I can tell you about the GL1 myself, there is, fortunately, a plethora of user's sites that have sprung up on the web. Here's a list of all the ones I could find. Got any worthy additions? Let me know!

Clicking on these links will open a new window. If everything's working right, all links will go to the same window every time.

GL1 Universe

Jeff Kramer and I go back a long way... we used to be poor together. That can sure build a good friendship, and since my websites have been hosted on his servers, he's grown to appreciate Canon DV. Check out Jeff's GL1 Universe at www.gl1universe.com.
