Many of the DV cameras on the market today have slightly different versions of Firewire, iLink, 1394, or whatever the camera's manufacturer is calling it. They are not always compatible. My Panasonic AG-EZ30 is a beautiful camera, but the Firewire link does not work with my Fast DV Master Pro video capture board, or my Sony GV-D900 Video Walkman.

I own a GL1 and agree that it is a fantastic camera. I miss the letterbox feature that
Sony has though when shooting 16:9 - all the GL1 does is squash it in the viewfinder making evaulating the composition tricky.
Is there a way to view 16:9 unsquashed and letterboxed as the Sony cameras do?
Don't get burned by Firewire
