I've never used Sony, all my video cameras are Canon's. The only Sony camera I ever owned was an old digital still from back near the beginning, and it was crap. But I can't comment on the quality these days at all.

I had many friends shooting with the VX1000 and the VX2000 and the results were very good. I have 2 GL-1's, a GL-2, an XL-1 and an XL-2. I found that I can "fake" HD on-line with the XL-2 as I bump up the resolution on FCP edit output and the quality is still better than most lower priced HD cams. (That was a trick I learned from one of the big sites that says all their video is true HD....it isn't)
