Good to hear this is conv is still going! I read on another forum that the EX3 will soon have 2/3″… is this true? If so, can someone point me to a link from Sony? I’d like to read more. Also, can you explain more on the 1/2″ Letus relay? What exactly is that, and how does it affect the image?

Really good info! Thanks to all. I read some forums several months ago on some guys trying to figure out a way to get around the $$$ Sony cards, but didn’t see where there was a sure fix. Def going to look into this! We have 11 cameras, so Sony card purchase/replacement has been a problem. We also purchased the shoulder mount and wedge to enable the use of a quick release plate… huge improvement on stability. Total investment was around $400. https://shop.dm-accessories.com/collections/ex-camcorder-products
I just read that the JVC will not have Genlock… so, I will most likely HAVE to go with the EX3 again, as the new purchase is for a multicamera setup. That blows!
I’m sure you’ve read it, but here’s a decent article on the JVC. https://www.dvinfo.net/articles/jvcprohd/hm700firstlook.php
Again. Thanks to all.

Thanks… but I asked for feedback on the JVC Camera, not your opinion on whether or not I’m properly using the EX3.
We love the EX3 for what it is… but we’re more familiar with the image quality of DVCPro 50 and HD. The EX3 was our first non-shoulder mount/smaller chip purchase; it is a bit different than a 2/3” image. But again, the EX3 is a great camera. We’re not expecting equal results as DVCPro HD from this level of camera, but we want to improve in the areas I noted earlier. So, I greatly appreciate any feedback on the JVC. Thanks to all!

Has anyone had the op to shoot with the new JVC? I currently have the EX3. It feels fairly clumsy due to its weight distribution, the colors lack richness, and it doesn’t perform very well in low light conditions. I normally have to use FCPs 3-way color correction to boost colors and level for everything I shoot. However, I have found that in the rare occasion where we have time to light the scene really well, the cameras image is quite nice. These things, and Sony’s price point on their memory cards, makes me want to find an alternative for my next purchase… we’re buying 3 new camera rigs. Any feedback on the new JVC would be great.
