GL2 or VX2100?

Hey,
These cameras are really similar. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with both and had an opinion of which one is better?

I've used both. Some people say that the VX2000 picks up colors more vividly and performs better in low light - but I like the GL2. Maybe it's just because I have more experience with the Canon, but it's definitely my camera of choice - even more than the XL1 (too bulky & delicate).

I haven't used the VX2000, but in my recent snowboard trip, I shot most of It with a Canon GL2 and I loved It. I'd recommend It to anyone.

I can't comment on the VX2000, but I love my GL-2. The video looks good, its big enough that you actually have something to hold onto, yet its small enough that you don't feel like you are lugging around a cinderblock.

I have read that the VX2000 does better in low light, but all of my shots have been in well-lit areas so I can't comment on the GL-2. Also, whatever you might be filming in low light, I think you'd rather see well lit up! Rolling Eyes
