Choosing between the EX1 or the EX3?


PMW-EX3 main differences
Interchangeable Lens for creative shooting
Time Code / GenLock (multicamera system)
Remote Control Unit Support, RMB-150 / RMB-750
Semi-Shoulder, ergonomics.Other features
Viewfinder / LCD combo: Sports the same High resolution LCD as the EX1 but with a built-in hood. Viewfinder attaches and detaches on the Hood compartment. The viewfinder / LCD combo is adjustable by its arm. Peaking, brightness and contrast located on the front of the viewfinder.
Slow & Quick motion is accessible by a button and knob where you can adjust the frame rate.
Extra Shoe located at the handle near the back. You can mount the new PHU-60K XDCAM EX Hard Drive(coming soon) or wireless applications, Lights.
The SxS media slot cover on the camera has a notch for the cable to the PHU-60K hard-drive so you can close the cover.Purchase the EX1($6,449.00)
The PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 uses the same technology. The included Lens are the same Fuji 14x Lens except the Lens on the EX3 is interchangable. Both features three 1/2-inch CMOS sensors, amazing 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 HD recording capability plus flash memory recording. Basically, I would lean towards the EX1 over the EX3 if you don't need the new features that are on the EX3. You save $1,871.00 from purchasing the EX1. Cost Effective.

Purchase the EX3($8,320.00)
If you Prefer 3 point contact, semi-shoulder design.
Have a spare lens, interchangeable.
For the viewfinder / LCD combo with built-in LCD hood.
For Studio and multi-camera setups (Our engineering department is already drawing up plans for few Studios & TV Stations).

Hi Jon,

I wish we had the PHU-60K to test out. I will get more information on ETA of the Hard Drive. The PHU-60k works with both the EX1 and EX3 and the deck EX30. The EX1 doesn't have the notch for the cable to the PHU-60K.

The PHU-60K cannot do over/undercranking due to data rates. The hard drive sustains 45Mbps. The slo motion ups the data rate pass 45Mbps.

The PHU-60K records up to 200 minutes of HQ mode. Just like the HVR-DR60 HDV hard drive, the unit features Smart Protection, which is combined with a built-in ''shock absorber'' that automatically protects it at a force of up to three Gs.

Interesting-- I was unaware that the Sony 8 gig card included both the EX1 and EX3.

2 are provided with the EX1. Great news, I am hoping it will cost around $1500, great for weddings and such.

Do you know what the status on the Sony rebate is? I won't be able to buy until August/September, do you know if there are any plans to end the second 8GB SxS rebate anytime soon ?

Your still safe, even in September. Make sure you don't throw away the box so quickly. You will need the original UPC code to send to SONY.

I dont think ex3 buyers would get a free 8 gig sxs card. The free 8 gig by rebate promo is just for the ex1.

I just heard back from Sony about the mail-in rebate. They are considering the 8GB mail in rebate for the EX3. Base on Sony's past, I highly believe they will move on with the promotion. Nonetheless, (1) 8GB card is included in the PMW-EX3 and EX1.

It appears some online vendors now have the EX3 in stock! B&H just changed their listting from "Accepting Orders" to "In Stock". I pro-ordered mine last week so I hope to share a review here soon.
