FYI: Sony PMW-EX3/2 Announced

Posted by Scot Lenter on June 4, 2010 at 7:31 pm

1. The lens hand grip has been changed to the same hand grip as that of the PMW-EX1R, with improved ergonomics for increased user comfort when used hand-held.
2. The handgrip also incorporates a One-Push Auto Iris button, again similar to the PMW-EX1R,which the camcorder (PMW-EX3) fully supports.
3. The lens focus ring, which is slideable from the AF/MF position to the Full MF postion, now includes the easily seen orange painted ring like the PMW-EX1R so that the current operational position of the focus ring can be easily discerned.
4. The PMW-EX3/2 now includes a promotional 16GB SxS card

You said “announced” as opposed to “rumor.” If Sony made an announcement it would include an official release. I’ve never known Sony to do this any other way. In fact the product naming EX3/2 doesn’t follow any known Sony naming convention. This doesn’t seem like an “announcement.”

Feel free to scan and use the COW file upload function assuming it’s not NDA . . . which would mean you’ve been notified but it has not been announced. Maybe better to say “Dealers Notified” as opposed to “Announced.”

B&H does show EX3 as temporarily out of stock which one may infer a replacement is coming. If they’re out of stock though they’re certainly not trying to get rid of current stock. The supply constraints may have already been . . .

Ok.. Sony hasn’t made the announcement but since I received some of these cameras today, I am making the announcement. So it is official, Sony PMW-EX3/2 announced.

I don’t see anything in the upgrade that excites me. I have always loved the handgrip on my EX-3. This upgrade seems pretty boring to me. Yawwwwnnnnnnnn!

haha.. it is not the kind of thing where you get rid of your current EX3 to buy the new one. However, if you are buying a new EX3, you should try and get the new version. In stock. Holla.
