Gl2 necessities, suggestions please!
I have been in the market for a Canon Gl-2 for quite some time now, and just recently I have accquired the neccesary funds to get the camera and accessories, and I am looking for a few things in particular. I want to get a decent tripod, xlr adapter/mic input, wide angle lens, long lasting battery, and if any of you have suggestions of other accessories for the gl2 please post. I have about $5500 to work with. I will mainly be shooting short films, documentaries, music videos, etc..
EDIT: Also this camera I want to take on with me to college, so is the gl2 a best bet for the future or would I be better off going with the xl1s? |
Batteries... lots of batteries and a good dual charger. Try to get one that also has a car adapter. Other than that, I suggest a good filter kit, lighting and or reflectors, and a selection of mics.

Get the Sennheiser me66 w/Beachtek DXA-10 or dxa 8 (for xlr and phantom power), cannon .7 wide lens, and a couple 6000mah power2000 bp945 batteries. That will start you off coting around $1100

GL2 or XL1s
THis Kind of ties in with my last post, but which camera is better for someone who wants to use it through college?
GL2 vs. XL1s |
Accessories would be more affordable for the GL, and it would be easier/cheaper to use.
