Canon GL1
Strengths: Excellent video quality, sharp 20x flourite lens, good microphone position for natural sound, smooth controls positioned well. Image stablizer fairly smooth and effective.
Weakness: Bulky. Expensive. Key wear points are plastic and have potential to break. Even small amounts of dust on front element shows strongly in image at wideangle settings, especially shooting into sun.
I often use this camera on a tripod or in a studio setting. It's too bulky and expensive to lug up and down hiking trails. I use a smaller camera for that. Image quality is outstanding - low in noise and sharp. It's a very capable camera for most non-hostile environments.
