Hello everyone,
I am currently in the market for a DV cam and just need a little help.
I've come to realize that I really would like to get a GL2. I have read numerous amounts of reviews and information on this camcorder and have been keeping my eye on it for well over a year.
Recently I found this site and decided to search through the posts relevant to the topic at hand. Needless to say I spent quite some time reading said posts only to derive at a fork in the road...
From what I gather some say that the Panasonic AG-DVC30 is a much more competent cam than the GL2 and its more "user friendly".
Instead of just hearing one person's view on the camcorder, I would like to get to know what the owners think. From your guys' experience do you think the GL2 is more versitle and comfortable for shooting movies than the DVC30? Do the features on the DVC30 outweigh the GL2?
I really want something that won't die on me after a year or so. I want something that when I load it into AE I can manipulate the footage with as little quality loss as possible. I want a camcorder that doesn't get stuck up on artifacts frequently.
Is the GL2 the camcorder for me? Now I'm not so sure...
