The HVR-Z7E has 1/3 inch chips compared to the 1/2 chips of the EX1.

Looks more like a new version of the Z1 than nearer the EX1. But the changable lenses look brilliant.

It also uses HDV codec which is only 25MB/s. The EX uses a form of the XDCAM codec that records long-GOP at 35MB/s.

To me, it looks like Sony is after the Canon XH-H1 and the JVC HD-200 with this offering.
 
XL-H1 is what he meant.

I agree with his assertion though. That does seem who they are directly going after. They're upping Canon and JVC in features, and undercutting them in price.

With the EX-1 they're trumping the HVX200, while just about matching it's price.

Let's see how the others respond...
 
As the new Z7 on the market, who knows the price on a Cinema lens that would be used on this new Z7.
The X1 has the HQ 1920x1080 format, is this a plus?
