Not even in the same ballpark. The ONLY advantage of the Canon is that it can shoot 30 FPS progressive. Big deal....I don't shoot in progressive/frame mode anyway and if I want to grab stills, they are just as good from non progressive Sony as they are from frame mode with the Canon...Maybe even a little better.
The Sony shoots in lower light, has larger sensors, and has better editing features.
But WTF do I know? I am still a newbie.

They are both fine cameras. To say that the Sony beats the living shit out of the GL2 is a bit much Aaron.
It really depends on what you want to use the camera for. If you are mostly going to be indoors, I'd probably go with the Sony. If you are going to be outdoors and want more zoom, the Canon is the way to go.
The camera is only part of the equation though. You have to consider the person behind the camera. The best camera in the world won't be worth a shit if the person behind it won't even read the manual.
Go to a camera store and play around with each of them and find the one that works for you. Either one is a fine choice.
