Description
The Successor of the Canon L1, Canon's first interchangeable lens video camera, not the rangefinders with the same name but the camcorders. The body is a strange combination of an SLR and a camcorder, with a flat, but angled back, and 2 hand grips, one in a SLR style and another in a camcorder-style grip. Takes HI-8 & Video-8 tape. On HI-8 Tape can record in color at 400 lines. The viewfinder is a 0.7" B&W CRT with a focusing mechanism. It uses the Canon VL mount and has a 1/2" sensor. The most common lens sold was an 8-100 15x zoom lens, with motorized zoom. There is also an adapter for Canon EF mount lenses that gives a 5.4x focal length multiplier due to the crop sensor.

Overall rating
Good camera, old, most have broken recording mechanisms the bodies have cheap build quality. But the lenses are really nice metal bodies that were probably sold at a loss
