Thanks Matt for posting your shootout clips between the EX-1 and the HVX.

If all I had to judge these cameras on was by your clips, I would have to go with the HVX hands down as my personal choice. The EX-1 is by far much sharper, but it looks over sharpened and screams “video” to me. The HVX was indeed softer, but the look was to my eye much more film like, organic and with better more solid colors. Viewing the HVX clips I could almost believe it was shot on film, not so with the EX-1. This is not to say that the EX-1 had a bad picture, as it clearly was excellent, it just looked more like good but typical HD video.

Hopefully, the prices on the HVX will drop now that the EX-1 has made its appearance!
