Great Camcorder value
I recently purchased the GL2, and am very pleased with the results I'm getting so far.Image quality is great, especially for such a small and lightweight camera.The manual focus is really nice.The zoom is amazing.And interchangable lenses is a big plus.Should you buy this camera?Maybe.The GL2 falls into an odd mid range.If you just want an easy to use camcorder that has great image quality, i'd probably reccommend one of the small panasonic 3ccd cameras.And if you want a digital camcorder that has...

Decent Camcorder.....But I still regret it
My primary camera is a Sony HDR-FX1.I bought the GL-2 as a second unit for multiple camera angles at sporting events.The GL-2 is a respectable camera but in my opinion the video image doesn't even come close to the Sony.The price and rebate offer was the greatest incentive in my purchase of this camera.However, beware of the rebate offer.I sent all the documents in strict compliance with the terms of the rebate only to have it rejected.The rebate facilitator claimed I did not include the UPC code...

Great for lo/no budget shooting
I wanted to shoot my first short film, so I shopped and shopped until I found this one, best price for the best features, looking back, I should have saved my money. With websites like mandy.com and others, you can easily make a film by putting the 2K towards hiring a junior or if your lucky, mid level DP w/ their own better equipment for about 200-400 a day. If you have a short film in mind and a dedicated work ethic w/ tight scheduling, you can make an entire film this way.BUT- if you want to...
