How is it to shoulder-hold?

[Scot Lenter]

I would say its somewhere between a handheld and full shoulder mount. hahaha.. It is pretty much just what you would expect. Not bad the way it is, might want to adapt for a complete over the shoulder mount

Rick,

[Rick Diamond] “How is it to shoulder-hold?”

Just my experience from a trade show, but I found it exceptionally stable and comfortable to hold against the shoulder. Of course your shoulder is taking only about a 3rd of the weight, but it makes it lighter than the EX1 to hold and much more grounded, and zowee, lookin’ into that great LCD/viewfinder makes my old eyes sing and not water.

It really felt like I could shoot longer and steadier with the EX3 than my 20lb. BetaSP rig, and with the addition of a waist pod to take nearly all of the camera weight, shoot forever.

Thats a much better answer than mine. I am just grumpy today because of a hang-over..

That’s great to hear, Ron. I was unable to pick it up at NAB, but it still seemed like a good upgrade to the EX1. That said, I’m really glad Sony is releasing it at $8,320 instead of “just under $13,000” which was the word at NAB.
