What camera isn't with alot of hours on it!? [8D] We've used our GL2 a TON, and the only issue that I've come across is every once in a while you will get an error when loading a tape, all you simply do is eject the tape and put it in again, problem solved. This is the only issue of any consistency that we have come across with the GL2, other than that it is an awesome camera especially for the lighweight compact size too. Only other possible issue with a GL2 is the 1/4" sensors, you will struggle some compared to 1/3" sensor in low light, but otherwise I love our GL2's!
