I know that it is kind of an old camera, but is it still good? Is it worth getting one used? How does the quality compare with newer cameras?

I'd check out the Panasonic GS-500 personally. Its a really underestimated camera. The GL1 is getting a little old ad there are definetly better options out there for the money.

Whats your budget?

yeahh.. it all depends on the condition of the camera and the price... gl1s are still sick even if they're old... the quality is still 10 times better then most video cameras... but if u have the money... do spend it on a gl2... i did.. and i've never regret my decision...

yes. we have one and produce identical shots to a gl2 or sony. the main difference in gl1 and gl2 is the size, they narrowed it down and made it more ergonomic. if you know how to adjust your settings, the sky is the limit.
