So what filter guys? :)

Okay, so what filter should i get for an EX3 to avoid the IR problem? I was told the 486 is the best one but has some slight green vignetting. Is there a solution or do I go rent an HPX3000

If it were me, and this is just me, I wouldn't bother with an EX1/EX3 if my sole purpose was an indoor shoot under tungsten lighting with primarily people in black tuxes. Especially if I were being paid for the gig. If you can afford an HPX3000 rental, I'd be all over that one for this kind of shoot.

I agree with Buck. The HPX3000 is the cam you need. When the 300 comes out you should give that a try too.

Do you think Sony could (not would) make an effective fix by replacing the ND filters with ND+IR filters (and the no ND becomes a clear IR filter?

Surely replacing the cost of the filter would be mostely labour, they could charge US$150 to take the sting out of it for them but still be cheaper than buying a filter. Just as long as it actually worked without creating any other problems.

Okay, but does anyone know if the HPX3000 suffers from the *same* problem??? God forbid.
