Thanks for all the feedback and i’d have to agree the EX1r is probably the best bet right now…..why cant Sony be kind to their loyal customers and give us a Firmware update that upgrades current EX1’s to EX1r!
Im still convinced that their is a software solution to the downconverting issues. I just cant believe how i can get such DV version from such an awesome HD picture!
The only other thing that grates my skin with the EX1 is the zoom rocker, i tend to avoid zooming, but everynow and then you have to [i reckon i can get a better creep in on my HC1!] Anyone found a way round this without spending more on a lens controller?

So the real question…..is there a software solution to batch compress EX1 XDcam to crisp looking DV?
