When I shoot weddings with it in HD, I wouldnt go over 3db of gain. When I downconvert to DV, I will take it up to 6 or 9 depending on my needs. Needless to say, when it gets dark, I use the Z1.

Actually, the Z1 doesn't (or didn't when I got it) come with an external mic - only the built in stereo mic. I guess they assume that if you can afford the camera, you can afford a decent mic.

That rebate has been going on for at least 2 1/2 years--back when I bought my first GL2. Its still a useful camera, but I sure am glad I sold it to get a Z1U!
