I'd get the HVX because you can use P2 cards, theres 60P and a handful of other stuff. But with P2 cards running at like over $1000 it might not be the better deal. They both shoot 24p. The XL H1 also has a really nice lens and i heard the picture look better. Just go on google and search for HVX200 vs XL H1 and you can find alot of stuff.
For wedding though, i'd personally buy 2 Panasonic DVX100B's, get a set of wireless lavalier mics (these make wedding videos 100x better), a shotgun mic, wide angle lens, 2 nice tripods and mad tapes. And all that will probably cost you as much as it would for the HD camera.

Honestly. Who needs HD for a wedding. You watch the video once like a month afterwards then stick it in the closet for the next 20 years. I would say for a wedding having good audio is WAY more important than having HD.Brian Boston said:

For sure. Whatever camera he ends up getting, make sure it has XLR inputs and he buys lavalier mics.

we are gonna hook the sound directly into the mixer for the wedding via xlr so would that be good sound??

It might or not be, i heard of people filming bands that did that it worked out for but other people said it ruined the video. You would have to test it first.
