It's pointless trying to draw conclusions on any codec's performance based only on numbers.
A good example is RED. It's about twice the data rate as the P2 format. Yet it's raw data for a 4k image. Some of the best eyes in the industry looked at the compressed vs the uncompressed footage and the compressed seems to have won the battle.
I'm looking forward to getting some hands-on with the EX1. I already have an HVX but am looking for a second camera. From the reports that everyone's been posting so far (thanks, eveyone), and from the brief time I actually had the camera in my hands recently, it all sure looks very promising.
My only complaint for now: No record-ahead cache.
