Canon GL3

Jan 2, 2004 3:02AM PST

I am new to this board, and my friend is looking for a new 3 CCD Camcorder. She wants to get the Canon GL2, but since it has been out for a while, and Canon is offering a hefty rebate, she thinks the GL3 may be on its way. Do any of you have any information regarding the Canon Gl3 and its release date.

Thanks

Yes there is a rumor going on that it is coming out they did this with the Canon XL-1s before they released the XL-2 which has 24 p capabilities is sOOOO sweet but for you yes there is a Cannon GL-3 coming out at least from what i heard it should be coming out around late febuary at least thats what everyones telling me. It's suppose to beat the competors and kick their socks of.

GL3 in March
Feb 23, 2005 12:34AM PST

GL3 is supposed to be released in March. The expiration of the GL2 rebate (without an extension, like last year) suggests the same. Last year's rebate and extension beg the question: was the GL3 supposed to come out last year and delayed by competitors' offerings?

Canon will once again offer a GL2 rebate on 1 MAR 05, indicating the the release of the GL3 may not be as imminent as I was led to believe. Also, the GL3 was notably absent from Canon's PMA in Orlando in FEB. I, too, have been waiting for the GL3, but I really wonder what "new" it can offer at that price point without undermining or competing with the XL2. 24P?
