Dont you hate trying to decide, features flashing through your brain day and night(I dream about nothing but camcorders for 2 weeks now), and just when you think its over... But who are we kidding, in a stupid way it is enjoyable, isn't it?
Anyway back to business (i had to get that out) I was also very set on the two you are considering, and although the GL1 was a simple choice (if you want a large lcd get a TV(there are other options), if you want something small get a 1-chip(or a zippo), if you want the best image quality, which is the point of a camcorder in the first place, the choice is obvious... no?) Personally, I realized that I'm too amaturish for the Gl1, small size= constant use= increase in skill level and rare footage. The smaller it is, the more you use it, that is the rule. Off coarse price is still a factor. Now bearing all that in mind I repeat: "PANASONIC dx110", the smallest 3ccd camcorder, nothing but praised image and overall quality, no p.s. but oh well, and best of all its about $1300 US!!!! now if I could just choose between it and mv30i(optura pi)
about ": Do you know of any good sites to buy Sony camcorders at good prices that won't bill until shipping?:
I dont know which part of the world you inhabit, but Hulk, my friend, get your hands on some camcorder magazines. There is a lot of useful info and very good deals all in print, just waiting for you!! (ei gl1 $1769 us, trv900 $1509 us) you would have to call around for billing details.
Keep in touch, and try not to stresssssss to much, i know i am
