I'm not disputing your knowledge, I'm just curious,
the GL (not that I use this feature) has the ability to shoot up to 1488 x 1128 stills in a JPEG format, and it saves it on to separate memorey chip. I would put the GL1 and the Sony VX-2000 in the same class, The GL2 is more of a competitor to the Sony PD-150, which uses 1/3" chips and costs about $1000 more.
From an overall sharpness point of view, the GL2 and the PD are about equal. The Canon's smaller chips actually have more active pixels than the PD-150's. (and don't forget that the Canon lens is 20x, and Sony is just 12x).
In terms of sensitivity, the Sony has an edge on the Canon, but not much. At higher gain settings, the Canon is a somewhat more noisy than the PD-150.
The colorimetry of the PD was more true to the subject. The GL2 seemed over-saturated.
But I am a newbie also.
