    Yes, I’d like to hear opinions as well. I’m going to be buying another camera soon and it’s between those two. Anyone??

    I just took a PWM to Africa, but had enough batteries and harddrive to last for days.

    It was great. But honestly, I think it doesn’t matter which camera you use. What matters most in extreme conditions is which camera you are most familiar with, and how well you can predict what your most difficult shooting tasks will be.

    Not trying to cop out but this horse has been beat to death here on the Cow and at DVX User and DV Info. Just search for HVX-200 vs. EX-1 and you will find threads that debate this for 30 to 40 pages.

    I own the HVX and have shot a few projects with the EX-1. Both are capable of amazing images in skilled hands. Just comes down to the fine points.
