but lets give it a shot, do you guys know a good place (besides ebay and craigslist) where i can get a 3 chip camera, minidv, budget is around 1,500 but prefferably if possible id like to find one for under 1,000 used. I found a gl1 for 700 but im not sure if GL1's are any good, or as good as the GL2, sony VX, or panasonic's 3 chip cameras.
