Ive got a GL2 and Century .3x fisheye now and i was thinking about selling it and maybe getting a used DVX100 or DVX100a..i have 400 saved now, and im thinking i can maybe get around 2300ish for my camera and everything. But i was thinking that maybe i could sell it and use the money to get an XL1s...i really need a tripod and dolly and kinda want a steadicam...and money is a problem...Can anyone help with what i should buy. By the way, getting a nice film/movie look is really nice.

Well I don't know anything about what you're trying to accomplish, but since it sounds like funds are tight then why not just stick with your GL-2? Use the $400 to expand your current kit.

I agree, keep your GL2, put the money into a decent tripod.
