GL2 Discontinued?
I noticed on Amazon this morning that they don't sell the GL2 anymore. Right now B&H still does, but I'm wondering - did Canon actually discontinue the line in favor of the XH line? I'd imagine that is the reason for the rebate that ends 01/31/07 - anyone know if that means that new GL2 from an authorized dealer will be unavailable after january?
If this info is available on Canon's site, I missed it - but I have no idea where to look there about stuff like this.

The GL2 remains current as long as it appears on the Canon DV Home Page (as it does right now). I wouldn't take the rebate expiry as any kind of guarantee that it's on its way out; that rebate has been "expiring" and renewing over and over again for quite some time.

That's true. I just got worried when I was browsing amazon and the item page said "this model has been discontinued". Of course then I checked B&H and they still had it so I wasn't too worried.
Just thought I'd check in here. :-)

It may just mean that the Amazon supplier has "discontinued" carrying the GL2. The $250 rebate has been going on for, what - 2 years now? It is an alternative to a price cut. Price cuts always cost the vendor, but many people neglect to send in rebates, especially corporate and government buyers.

False Alarm
I figured out what they did on Amazon.
I clicked on the GL1 link from some list on the site. So it takes me to a GL1 page but they've changed the title to the GL2. However, since it is the GL1 page it said "discontinued". Appologies for the panic attack. :-)
