i know its a pretty dumb question, but right now they are about the same price,
which would be better:
a brand new Canon GL2,
or should i risk buying a used XL1s for around the same price?

RE: used XL1s or new GL2
I just don't trust anything used that I'm not familiar with. I think the GL2 is the better choice, although the XL1s may possibly be perfectly fine. In my opinion, save up for a Sony HDR or Canon XL2 instead. I love my Sony FX1!

RE: used XL1s or new GL2
Well an XL is much better to use than a GL2, i mean its a league up, but a 2nd hand camera is well, a league of its own!
Thing is tho, if uve saved enuf for a GL2, then keep saving, and get a XL2 from say B&H in NYC (good price) if ur 2/3 to getting a decent prosumer camera, then just keep going mate
