I’m a litigation attorney with 10 years experience, employed as a senior litigator by a major international law firm. I am also an advanced amateur videographer, doing travel videos. I’ve lost track of the number of depositions I’ve conducted, but they’re in the hundreds…
This is the bare minimum gear I consider appropriate for deposition videography. I won’t hire you again if you show up without backup for video and audio. Depositions are one-shot deals… they are critical events which can’t be redone.

As I only had the PD150 on loan for a few hours, this portion of the comparison only includes the XL1S and GL2. In the lowest light situations the GL2 is about 1/2 stop less sensitive than the the XL1S.
Right out of the box, I felt the PD150 looked the best relative to skin tones, however the GL2 is capable of duplicating the look of the either the PD150 or the XL1S, by adjusting color, sharpness, set-up, etc.
