no the vx1000 is very old but it still has some of the best day time colors and THE best sound
go with a vx2000 or something if u want an all around cam for night/day/lines

people don't really like canon that much in video they make good cams but sony and panasonic offer better cameras at around the same prices. The gl2 and xl1 are both good cameras, there's just better options. Buy the camera off of ebay, or an online store with a good rating. Just get the camera and a cheap fat ass battery. DOn't get it in a set with like a wide angle lens, case, tripod ect. All the accesories are crap. You'll end up buying good lenses and a good tripod in the end. I don't know about mack warrantys I have one on my camera but I've never had to use it, I have a vx2100. I'm about to buy a jvc hd100u and I'll probably get a warranty, just because you never know when shit might happen. Anyway, find a good price, if a place is selling somehting as new in box it'll be the same camera you get at an expensive camera store. Just use a credit card so you can dispute the charges if neccesary.

Or you can get a DVX on ebay, my friend got one last year for about 2 grand.

They're not as good as DVX's though and you could probably find a DVX for cheaper or at least not too much more.

yes I realize DVXs are waay better but I bought a GL2 because the cheapest price I could find a DVX for was $3,400. I reeeeaally want to sell my GL2 and buy a DVX but I hear GL2's go for under $2,000 on ebay so Im fucked.
Im pissed too cause I payed so much money for this cam.
