Do you think that by next year, the price will have dropped at all on the GL2? Just wondering about that.

Yes of course, I have seen price drops on camera's happen in the span of 3 months. Just depends on what models are going to be released by Canon and what their marketting plans are. Of course I can't predict but I am 99% sure that yes GL2 will go down in price.

I don't claim to be an expert by any stretch, but technology drops quick, i would be very surprised if the GL-2 isn't cheaper by next year. ON the otherhand, i haven't heard anything major comming form cannon so it most likely will be a couple months yet.

I have held off buying myself a PV-DV953, because I will now try to save more money to get a GL2, or wait til either of those cameras drops in price..... ah, I want an XL1-S so bad though... droooool..

I heard Canon was releasing a new camera pretty soon...but I can't remember who told me...

"Don't breathe or I'll kill you!"

when did the GL2 actually come out anyway?

i believe sometime last summer...

Man XL1s aren't anythign to drool over.. I rather get Panasonigs Ag100 anyday. GL2 and Xl1s are basically hte same camera, except a few more manual controls and expensive lenses with the XL1s. But i heard cannon is releasing the XL2 soon so maybe that will cause the Gl2 to go down in price!

Well put, Irony. I used to want an XL-1s really really bad, and now I realize there is stuff a lot better out there.

"Don't breathe or I'll kill you!"

yeah its true i've heard all that talk about gl2 being just as good or better anyway. It's the lenses, but i wouldnt have enough money for lenses anyway.
