You won't regret it. Sure, there's a boatload of opinions on "my camera is better than yours" threads, but personal experience has brought me NO regrets regarding my GL2 - cannot say the same about my pair of XL1 units.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54818 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:13:28 +0000 TheHoodReview 54818@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I was recently fortunate enough to auction off<br /> the used gl1 at a reasonable enough price to win a gl2 and add a few<br /> bucks to it.  I'm waiting for the gl2 to arrive now.  Thanks for the<br /> advice.  The jvc never came so that kind of fell in my favor as, the<br /> no-show camcorder will pay for the price difference of the gl1/2.  I<br /> have another question however.  What do you think of the XL1 as it<br /> relates to the GL2?  I know the XL2 would be ideal and that's my goal<br /> for a camera at this point.  However, because the xl1 tend to be half<br /> the price of the xl2, I was wondering how it would compare to the GL2<br /> model.  Would it make sense to just stay with the GL2?  Would a trade<br /> to the XL1 from the GL2 actually be a downgrade?  What if I were able<br /> to have the xl1 and gl2, but still not afford the xl2?  Please advise...</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p> </p> <p> BC</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54403 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:12:00 +0000 TheHoodReview 54403@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK cool. Thanks EarlC.  I may be in the market for slight camera upgrade in a month or two. The camera will still be a older model like an XL2 but we'll see when the time and $$$ is right. Right now, I'll do a little bit of practicing.  I figure, if I play around a little bit with what I have access to, it will let me know what I actually need, and, or I'm looking for.  Thanks for the help. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54402 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 09:07:24 +0000 EarlC 54402@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I would use the GL1 if THAT and the JVC (even though it's HD) were my ONLY choices - better glass. A shame you cannot access at least a GL2, though, and try to find a way to upgrade cameras as soon as you can. Your system will handle basic editing, of course, but you may have some wait times on rendering if you do much more than cuts editing. Not that THAT's a problem as cuts are the primary tool of most commercial movies to go from scene-to-scene.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54400 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:53:06 +0000 TheHoodReview 54400@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Regarding my skill level, Beginner would be an over statement.  I'm using final cut express hd 3.5.1 on a mac- 1.83 core 2 duo with 2 gigs of ram.  I have very minimal gear, &amp; knowledge but I am using online tutorials and communities to get my feet wet.  I'm very motivated to get some work accomplished so any/all advice is welcome.  thanks in advance. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54399 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:45:46 +0000 TheHoodReview 54399@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Sorry all, I tried to correct this in another post.  it is indeed the Canon GL1.  Thanks for your responses.  BC</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54258 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:34:25 +0000 EarlC 54258@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Sony makes a GL1? I thought that was Canon's nomenclature, and the Canon GL1 has been replaced (for some years now) with the GL2. I could be all wet, but I cannot find a Sony model GL1.</p> <p>If it IS in fact the Canon GL1 (preferably GL2) I'd also go with that camera due to its magnificent optical stabilization, GREAT glass (lens) and a host of manual controls.</p> <p>Try to Google search for Sony GL1 and you will see not only your request here listed, but will mostly be directed to Canon GL1, not Sony - there is a comparison of the Canon GL1 and the Sony TRV900.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54245 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:03:02 +0000 futball8 54245@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> The first question to ask: Do you have a computer capable of editing HD video? If you have a  normal run-of-the-mill editing workstation, then shoot SD with the GL1.</p> <p>Personally, I would use the GL1 anyway, just for the manual control options, but I don't know what your camera knowledge and skill levels are.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gz-hd-3-newbie-question#post-54244 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 07:45:53 +0000 TheHoodReview 54244@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It's a Canon.  I looked at a sony on ebay right before posting the blog and transposed Sony with Canon and have been copying and pasting sony all am (obviously attempting to make myself look like a nut lol).  Thanks for pointing that out.  It's absolutely the Canon GL1</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gz-hd-3-newbie-question#post-54240 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:47:29 +0000 daryldrj 54240@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Are you sure its a Sony GL 1</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gz-hd-3-newbie-question#post-54239 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:24:00 +0000 TheHoodReview 54239@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm also a newbie and would like anyone who reads this question to answer my question if possible</p> <p>My question is "Which camera is better for a no-budget drama-  the Sony GL1 vs. JVC Everio GZ-HD3?" </p> <p>Please respond at the videomaker link below.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p> </p> <p>CT</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3" rel="nofollow">http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-please-sony-gl1-vs-jvc-gz-hd3-2#post-54238 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 05:17:56 +0000 TheHoodReview 54238@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Forgive my amateurish post. However I am a beginner in need of<br /> help. I have access to both a Sony GL1 camcorder and also a small<br /> JVC GZ-HD3 HD camcorder. I'm attempting to make a dramatic short<br /> that will be uploaded to the internet (youtube, openfilm, etc) and also<br /> burned to dvd. To all of you with intermediate - Professional<br /> experience, (all other nuances, lighting, etc) which camcorder would<br /> you use (based off of the cameras stats/reputations if any)...  </p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>BC</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gz-hd-3-newbie-question#post-35658 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 15:10:55 +0000 TrennK 35658@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p> I own this cam, and love it.
