wow, marc, this guy gets offended alot more easily then the people over at that "other" forums from which i am banned.
sorry didnt realize you'd flip shit over a comment with the word "squirly" in it written by someone still in high school.
but ANYWAYS, my GL2 (XM2, and as well my VX1000 and 2000) used to drop frames all the time when i used sony mini dv's... but im sure my camera is jerked around more when filiming than your camera.
