This camera seems to split the forums. It’s a camera that will not work in tourist auto mode, it would be a waste of money to do so.
Having tested the cam now 2 month, it will be the main cam for my movie short. The image is brilliant, the options are great to improve the needed quality. The hot discussed rolling shutter, is nearly not visible when the shutter is set to a longer duration. Which supports the mostly wanted CINEMA look, and so no problem for me.
Workflow and integration is perfect with Final Cut Pro.
The Lens is a surprise in that price-range and shows the typical breathing, which lenses have, again: in that price range, no critic on that, but just to mention it.
After several cams with menu operation, I love to have buttons and a adjustments that I can touch and move, and the menu is well organized for the ’stuff’ you don’t need so often.
My only concern is the Microphone so close to the Lens, as it gives no real space to use any Standard Matte box. (Why the Focus-wheel has no cogwheel and the two other (focal length/aperture) have one, I have no idea, but that is an easy fix.
Th EX1 has real pixels and nothing interpolated or shifted, just true information, which makes the camera outstanding in that price-range. With a Black Magic Extreme card you get 10bit HD SDi 4:2:2.

The only thing that can bother with that camera really, if you are not certain if you would like to have a EX3 ;*)


Help answer the question about Sony Xdcam
Help with Sony XDCAM?
I've got an XDCAM PMW-EX1 and I want the image it captures to appear on the screen Sony Xdcam of a MAC via a HDMI cable rather than using the built in viewfinder. Does anyone know if settings need to be changed either on the mac on the camera or if I need additional software/hardware?Cheers
