Pros: Full manual spec. Well laid out. That lens!.
Cons: Bulk. Plastic bodied. No stop frame function. AF switch resets.
The Bottom Line: Sony's new VX camera will have to be something special to beat the GL1/XM2. Image quality second to none at this price.

Pros: Lens 20x zoom. Video/sound quality. Features.
Cons: Harder to balance than older full size shoulder cams. Need Glidecam.
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you want a quality camera. Don't cheap out and get 1-chip cameras.You might want to wait for the Sony HD-CAMS though at this point.
