    Yeah, I agree. No big deal when you already have the -3.

    Some of the “big” things are:

    Cache Record up to 15 seconds
    HDMI out
    Standard Def recording
    One push Auto Iris
    One push for S&Q change
    New View Finder
    Camera holding
    Switch improvements
    Firmware upgrade by users.

    Big for me would be cache recording and HDMI out. If cache recording could be implemented in a firmware upgrade I’d accept that. HDMI out allows for lower cost monitoring in some cases. The rest are nice but maybe not mission critical.

    Someone said they dropped the HD_SDI for HDMI. If they got rid of HD-SDI…MAJOR bummer. By hooking this cam up to a Nanoflash or AJA Ki Pro suddenly you are sending an uncompressed 4:2:2 signal to either device. This instead of a compressed 4:2:0 to an SXS card or whatever. This makes the cameras signal output something to rival cameras that cost many times more!

    I also wonder if they made it to not accept the SDHC card setup.

    I would rather continue with SDI as HDMI doesn’t support timecode.

    Good Luck

    The same firmware allows the use of Sony’s hard drive recorder so I think that would be hard and pointless to implement a block.

    Any word on when the EX1R will be released. I just ordered the EX1 a week ago so I am trying to figure out what to do. Keep it? or exchange it?

    I thought the same thing about the HD-SDI at first but then realized that was a listing of the original EX1 specs (see recording mode etc and the top of the table). I hope they include HD-SDI on the EX1R.

    I wish I was good at one thing rather than average at many, but oh well.

    Scroll down the “Expandore” page and you will see the full specs.
    States that there is a BNC for SDI out.
    I think this camera comes with a bunch of new things.
    What is interesting is to see that they have loaded all the setups for SD.
    Few weeks ago they released a new DVCam.
    While there are more HD production, the HD distribution is not fallowing the path.
