    Major differences between the GL2 and the XL2 is that XL2 does 24p and the GL2 doesn’t, and the XL2 has interchangeable lenses and the GL2 doesn’t. I think the XL2 also has a slightly larger pixel count. That said, I absolutely love my GL2 and while I wish I could shoot 24p, it’s a big issue at all.

    I bought a cheap Canon mini dv camcorder, a ZR65. I bought it for $100 bucks on ebay. You wouldn’t want to wear the heads unnecessarily on the GL2, so I just use the GL2 to shoot.
