canon Optura Pi Can't Post
I know this is a GL1/XL1 page, but I was wondering if anyone has ever used the canon Optura Pi (step down from the GL1). I'm considering on buying the canon Optura Pi camcorder, because of it's great image quality for the money. I've read a lot of reviews about it, and people like the picture quality, but they say the design is terrible. People say turning the record button to play mode hurt their thumbs, and the zoom control was terrible. Just how bad is it? Does the image quality make up for the bad design? Thanks.
