Going to try the optura 60
 

Well, I ordered an optura 60 from B&H. It should be here tomorrow. I plan to use it as an inexpensive backup to my Gl2. One main reason is because when I have friends shooting a secondary camera with me, most of them aren't very savvy with video. So they need something they can just point and shoot, and I won't be constantly worried my Gl2 is in the wrong hands. I hope this camera will give me some decent footage. I also got a RODE videomic so I can get some acceptable audio. I would have gotten a second gl2 but I want to hold off and see what Canon might announce this Summer. I am worried about low light and also if this camera can give me good enough footage to use on my projects. I do wish this camera had a lanc input for a zoom controller.

I would like to hear anyones experience with this camera. It sounds like it has just recently become available.

Hopefully, I'm the exception, but you can read about my experience with it in the post below. ("Optura 60 has a whining sound"..)
