Is it possible to retain the exact image quality and sound quality that I shot with my Gl2 if I try to play them through a cheaper MiniDv cam. I dont want to use my Gl2 for playback.

Earl Thurston February 18th, 2006, 07:53 PM Be careful, though. You may want to stick to another Canon MiniDV cam. I have the GL1 and its tapes sometimes have problems playing in other brands of MiniDV equipment, like JVC. From what I recall, Canon's DV mechanism was a little off the official specification, so it creates tracking problems. Don't know if that was fixed with later models like the GL2.
