  • Sony EX1 or NX5U for my trips?

    Posted by Adriano Moroni on December 8, 2010 at 11:10 pm

    Hi, I’m using Sony FX7 (PAL) and now I’d like to replace it with a
    better camera. I’m a solitary traveler and I will use it in my trips
    around the world but rainfores, mountains, desert, etc.
    I don’t know if I will buy an EX1 or a NX5U, I have confused ideas.
    EX1: better image performance, less wide angle, heavier, more
    expensive
    NX5U: lighter, more wide angle, more zoom
    Can I know your suggestions, please?
    Thanks,

    Depends what you are trying to do. Cinematic quality, neither doo well, but the ex-1 has far better image quality.

    1: Ex-1 – 2hr battery life…
    48minute record time on supplied dual 8gig cards…ships with one, I got free one when regitering cam.
    excelent low light… .14 lux
    Needs laptop with express port to offload SxS cards quickly or
    slow usb2.0

    2: NX5

    2hr or so battery life
    hours of recording with cheap easy hdsd cards 32gig = cheap…
    poor light sensitivity 1.5 lux

    I vote Sony Ex-1r for better quality image, light, and just carry a laptop…

    EX-1 is also HDTV qualified…
