I shoot wedding videos for a living using my Sony VX2000 and a borrowed Canon GL1. Because of pinch roller alignment issues the tapes shot in the GL1 will not play back properly in the Sony. The video will play back ok but the audio drops frames. I have to use the correct camera to transfer the footage into the computer. I have learnt through research that pinch roller alignment and playback are a very real concern and I would caution anyone to be aware of this issues when making plans to use different cameras. A question I have is... do pro mini DV "DECKS" have adjustable pinch rollers ? P.S I think the GL1 sucks... and there has got to be a better camera for the money. Love the VX2000... Darrell
