I purchased 3 GL2's a couple of years ago and I've been really happy with them. I don't plan on upgrading anytime in the next 2 years or so, so I don't see why it wouldn't work well for you.

Pretty good, especially considering that it's your first attempt at the style and that you weren't shooting for that style (that's pretty tough).

There were a few cuts that felt abrupt, but...

I use GL2's, and I usually only use manual focus during low light situations because in those situations the camera will often search for focus. I don't know how that might apply to your cameras.

Are you my archnemesis? We seem to be butting heads a lot on here lately (just kidding).

Wow, my LCD's are all fine (unless you count a few dead pixels), but that's a great idea to just buy an attachable screen rather than sending in for repairs (which would probably cost more anyways)....

Great additions (especially #6 and #7; I use an onboard shotgun, so I can't comment on #5, although it sounds like a great idea).

Well, I guess my concern is that for a wedding, I don't get 2 or 3 takes. I get 1 take, and I need to make sure I don't screw it up because I'm using a filter. If I was just shooting a...

I have yet to try out the "interview station" strategy, so I can't comment on that.

I just go around from table to table to get what I call "personal messages to the bride and groom". I found...

Ditto on avoiding the VHF. I own a pair of Azden VHF wireless mics and they never go anywhere anymore. I wouldn't trust them to record an empty room at this point. UHF is going to be much better...

No problem. I think, in the end we are both on the same page. We both feel that zooms are often not performed very well by the average videographer. We also both understand that sometimes a nice...

Well, I don't look 19, but I'm 31 and I look about 22-25 depending on the day of the week. In my experience, with weddings, couples tend to gravitate toward the younger videographer anyways. So, as...

Spokane? How about that? My wife is a photographer and she has a wedding job in Spokane this spring. I've only been there once myself, but it seemed pretty nice.
