You'll be hard pressed to see a difference between the Optura 50 and the GL-2 in most daytime outdoor conditions. And as Phillip pointed out the Optura 50 uses a higher resolution 16:9 widescreen mode.
But, if the following are important, then the GL-2 is the way go
- slightly better color rendition
- much better low light performance
- 20x zoom lens
- built-in ND filter
- camcorder handle
- larger body
And, if you're looking at the GL-2, also check out the Sony A1U HDV camcorder.
Otherwise, the Optura 50 is a great bargain, can't beat it for the price. The Optura line competes directly with the Panasonic 3 chip G series, so you'll see very similar performance when comparing both lines.
