Cons: Bulk. Plastic bodied. No stop frame function. AF switch resets.
The Bottom Line: Sony's new VX camera will have to be something special to beat the GL1/XM2. Image quality second to none at this price.

Cons: Harder to balance than older full size shoulder cams. Need Glidecam.

This reviewer recommends this product.
