Ok fellas, after getting my camera stolen last summer, im looking to upgrade to a prosumer level camera. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two as im probably looking to buy used and not break the bank. i was wondering on peoples opinions on both, and maybe some pros/cons for each. would also be interested in the older GL1s and VX1000s if the price was right.

i use a 2100 (really similar to the 2000), and i love it. great in low light, great battery life, and really durable, which are the things sony is known for.

as for the gl2, I know a few people that have one, I dont really know much about it specifically but ive never heard them complain

bottom line, theyre both baller ass cameras, it would be a solid choice to go with either one.

They're pretty similar, and I've used both.... I actually prefer the GL2 but many say it's just personal preference.

yeah it just depends on what you want and your personal style. gl2's have a more soft film look, while vx2k's have a more intense picture with great vibrant colors, you can still get that soft film look with a vx, it will just have more vibrant colors.
and vx2000's and especially the vx2100 does amazing in low light.

i have a vx2000 and my friend has a gl2, i really like my vx2000, although i just sold it for a DVX. it has really good colors and great low light as a lot of people have been saying. in comparison to the GL2 it has warmer colors. i'd go with the Vx2000, great starter camera too. check out skateperception.com for more info

If you know how to use a Gl2 you get much better results then you can with any VX.
