GL-1 vs. GL-2
I'm trying to get to the bottom of some quality issues. I made two videos under the same conditions (a bright sunny day) edited and exported to DVD. One was made with the GL1; the other with the GL2, the quality of the video that was made with the GL-2 seems infinitely better, brighter color and shaper image. The video on the GL-1 was way soft. Since I just borrowed these cameras, I want to know if the GL2 is really that much better then the GL1? If not then it may have been some software issues that caused the degrade in quality.

The GL2 does naturally produce somewhat sharper image. But another factor could be the camcorder image settings (color phase, color gain, sharpness, etc.). Were they matched before the shoot?
|
Unfortunately, I didn’t match them because these videos were shot 6 months apart. I just recently looked at the quality of the footage from the DVD’s I made and the GL-2 seems to blow its predecessor away.

I think the Fluorite lens of the GL2 combined with it's much bigger number of pixels (or am I wrong?) should resolve in a much sharper picture indeed...
But with some tweaking you should get the cams to get pretty close, I think. |
GL1 also has flourite lens elements. GL2 has more pixels for potentially sharper imge.

Strange then somehow they didn't give the XL1s not a fluorite lens? |
well
It's actually why some people decided to pick up a gl1-2 instead of a xl1-xl1s...moreover if they didn't need a removable lens...
