This has been my workhorse camera. This is a great camera that I have used a lot in the last 3 months. It has some cosmetic flaws, it is missing the plastic piece that goes over the infrared, and the lock slide on the handle. It is still a very good camera for the money. Soon I will be listing another GL1 ($950) with low hours and an XL1($1450). I am selling because I also own a GL2 and XL2. I am ONLY asking $650 obo. If this does not sell quickly, I will post it on eBay.
Here is an example of how the camera shoots (keep in mind, it is YOUTUBE and the compression is really bad):

I also received recognition for this film, partially shot with this particular GL1. It will be airing at Founders Park on August 2nd, 2008:
