Sony XDCAM EX

I was sniffing around for the EX1 manual last night, couldn't find it under Sony support and ended up downloading the XDCAM EX clip browsing software just for kicks. I though, hey--this file is a kinda big for a clip browser. Turns out, they included EX1 manuals in seven languages in the zip. Go get it and run the web interface or just pop open 3280015111.pdf for the English manual.

BTW, Sony does include a section called "Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors" where they touch on image skew. Like Mikko, I could see a bit when I quickly panned the camera back and forth, but it didn't seem too bad. I'm still waiting for some extensive testing because I don't think it's possible to make a good judgment without examining real footage.
 
I thought so...but I just want to make sure.

Thanks to many poster in here; I've learned something new. I never thought the rolling shutter would cause that much of an artifact. I'll have to watch out for when I got my EX1 sometime next week.

I've read some where in the 35mm adapter forum that the thread size of the EX1 is 72mm. I couldn't find the exact post now so it would be nice if someone can confirm it.

it's 77mm
 
W.O.W , coming from an ex-HVX200 user, the low noise, cleanliness of the EX1 is NIGHT and DAY vs the HVX200.

According to the shooter, Grabs were taken from 720/ 24p with the lens at f4 - f5.6, This camera can almost see in the dark !

Okay, I'm a bit confused on this questin and answer.

"When the included Clip Browser software is used to convert an .mp4 file to
an .mxf file, if the input .mp4 file contains 35 Mbps full-raster 1920 by
1080 footage, does the output .mxf file remain full-raster 1920 by 1080 or
does it get transcoded to anamorphically squeezed 1440 by 1080? Several
people have asked me this question and I don’t have an answer for them.
Rewrapping does not change the essence. So the essence remains identical. So the NLE needs to have the high resolution codecs to properly handle the video that is recorded."
​
So what does it mean the NLE needs to have a high resolution codecs to properly handle the video that is recorded? My understanding is that if the software does not support it then that means it's not going to work, correct?
