Unplugging and turning everything off worked to get fcp to recognize my camera. when it wouldn’t recognize later, I did not turn off the computer, but closed fcp, unplugged the firewire, put it back and reopened final cut. then it recognized my camera again. I don’t know why I keep losing the camera, but at least I can get it back.

Handheld about half the time, but trying to keep that to a minimum as space and movement will allow. Used Panasonic tapes for a long time. Since the cleaning, I’ve gone and switch to Sony which I plan to stick with for awhile.

If you’re going to buy a miniDV for a deck the Handycam is good because you can also import footage shot in DVCam mode from the PD150/170 etc.

I had a zoom control problem on my GL2 as well. Started as an intermittant thing, but became more regular. I’d begin a zoom and it would not stop until I tapped the control in the other direction. Or it would begin to zoom on its own.
Good news. I had the problem repaired at a shop in San Diego. They’ve been around awhile and another Canon using friend gets his stuff taken care of there. It’s $100 deposit towards repair to check it out. The total repair cost me about $200 including the part. (they replaced the zoom control switch). Nice guys too, been doing pro video repair for something like 20 years. They’d be able to help you figure out if there is a contact issue as was mensioned by someone else.
