Thinking of buying a Cannon GL2

I'm considering buying a Cannon GL2 so I was wondering if anyone knows the upsides and downsides to this camera for a indie 17 year old filmmaker.

I'm also entering for the 48 hour film project for the second year so that's why I'm upgrading cameras.
 
I checked out the Canon gl2 test on youtube. Looks very nice. One of the videographers stated it was easy in post.
It something for me to consider. I sometimes feel like I will go crazy trying to figure out what camera to get....probably in late spring. The GL2 seems quite nice and not too expensive (compared to others I have seen).
 
Just from personal experience, though limited, I think you'll actually be more satisfied with a Sony HD1000u, it's cheaper, slightly better lux, still has full control over shutter speeds, imaging is outstanding with good lighting situations, use the touch screen to adjust the focus if desired, etc. It's really quite nice!
