Which option?

Dec 15, 2010 4:13AM PST

So me and some friends are making some short films. I was looking at two options.

1. Kodak Zi8 w/external mic.
2. Used Canon GL1/2

The HD option looks nice (Zi8), to be take seriously, but the Canon looks to have better options to pinpoint and control the atmosphere of the films. (Kinda hard to explain XD)

Any other opinions up to 400$ price range will be considered!
