Replying to Panasonic PV-DV953?

Anyone know anything about this camera? Im thinking about getting it. I've read some reviews about it and in general they are very good. The only down side is that it doesnt shoot well in bad lighting, like not very well at all. It's a 3ccd so it gets the good quality, but it only uses 1/6" chips so it doesnt gather much light. But i figure im not really going to use it during night, maybe for some urban but i got a little generator so i'll set up decent lighting. In some reviews they compare it so a GL2 saying that in daylight conditions it performs nearly as good as a GL2. They say it performs a little worse but is hardly noticeable at all. The camera also has a lot of manual features and they say that if you play with them and get to know how to work them you can get the shot to look better than a GL2. So what's everything think about this camera? By the way i think it retails for like 1300, and i found it for muuuch cheaper; used but in good condition and with an extra battery. So ya, opinions please.
