YOOO what up thugs
i've recently been offered a hell of a good deal and i'm trying to decide which to take.
ok so my friend who is a local filmer in North Carolina is selling his GL2 with death lens and a whole camera bag full of gear plus lights to get a DVX. he wants to sell it for 2700 and I know its a good deal because i skate with him all the time and he treats that shit like its his child.
But i've also been offered a brand new vx1000 with a death lens for the same price.

im thinking the gl2 would be a good deal but my friends think different. they said the quality of the vx is better and its got a bigger range with its death lens.

But the gl2 to me is a rad deal because of all the little nick nacks and the light i'm getting with it.
what do you honkeys suggest i do?

thanks,
Shreddy Krugar

GL2 hands down. I don't care what anybody says, I'll take a GL2 over a VXseries anyday.

I agree, GL2's are the shit...
I just wish they put a zoom ring on it, instead of that focus ring.


I'd take the GL2, not to mention the gear....

ok man, i went GL1 over VX1000 and regret it every day i film. Sure the GL2 is better than the GL1, but think about it. Whens the last time you saw pros using a GL2? Probably never. You have seen the VX1000 been used in the past up until now which it is still being used to film videos such as THE NOW coming out this summer. GO VX1000, you will not be the least bit dissapointed i promise you.
