I use a GL2, XL2, and several XL1s. All are good cameras. The GL2 and XL2 match very well in color and white balance so a two camera shoot will need very little color correction to match the cameras in post. I have the Beachtek adapter so I can use XLR cables. I do not use the built in mic on the GL2, I always use an AT shotgun mic for on camera audio. The GL2 will shoot in 16×9 had has a “frame” mode sort of a 30p look. I do a lot of documentary productions with field work on islands, wilderness trails, mountains, etc. I can pack in my GL2 to places I could never take my XL2
