Hey guys...
So I just got a GL2, and now I need some questions answered...it was so cheap I just bought it without knowing much. I can't really get hurt on this deal.
1. What's the output like? Can I put video on SD or does it have to be tape?
2. I know it's in 4:3 ration so is it possible to correct that without fucking it up?
3. If number 1 is impossible to do without tape, how would I do tapeless recording if it can be done on a gl2?

Thanks so much, +k for good answers, - k for hate.

I'd suggest just shooting on tapes. You CAN shoot tapeless but it's going to cost you. As for the 4:3 ratio, I believe there's a 16:9 mode with the GL2. Just google it. Or shoot in 4:3 and crop it in post.
