My advice is — whatever Hank (compusolver) says – follow it. 🙂
Don’t scrimp on the camera — the vx2100 is your best bet. Next, I would get good audio, tripod and light. Plus, there is a lot of professional value when it comes to the look of the camera – the gl2 looks more like a consumer camera than the more professional looking vx2100.
You can save a lot of money by looking at a different software package. Nothing against Avid, but that software is 1,400. You can do great stuff with a software package like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere for less than half that.
You can always upgrade your computer/software later when you start making some money.
