I think it does no good to compare the two. I own the EX1, 5D Mark II, and GH2. The two dslr’s look much more alike than the EX1. And frankly, much better. The dslr’s just have much larger sensors and the option of much better glass.

“We’re shooting low-budget stuff (interviews and fun videos for web) so we’re not looking for anything like the 5D Mark II but still want something with good sensors and good compression quality.”
While availability is difficult, I’m guessing you will find the Panasonic GH2 an ideal choice. It’s feature set, including an auto-focus system that is quite impressive, and glass that is much cheaper yet still quite beautiful, will serve your stated needs well. The kit, with camera and 14-140 lens (with IS) and the 20mm 1.7 (IS) will set you back less than 2K as well.

I adore my zeiss 50mm 1.4. Focusing a dream.

You hear many opinions. One tends to like those opinions that save money. Some have voiced that the newer lens is “too sharp” for video purposes, excellent for photos. I cannot give you a real world comparison, however, I shoot with the older one and the quality is fantastic.
