I use the Kensington 7in1 with Transcend and Sandisk Ultra II SDHC cards. No problems with sustained use over the last year. I even accidentally over-cranked with no problems. And with the EX3 firmware upgrade, I can now use the Panasonic SDHC card.

Installed it yesterday. Works fine (so far).

The upgrade USB port is covered on the back behind the shoulder pad. Download the upgrade and instructions here:
https://support.sonybiz.ca/esupport/eSupportHome.asp
then follow the instructions carefully. I found that during the install, it’s easier to remove the shoulder pad completely, use the Windows installer and make sure there are no power interruptions. You will power off/on the camera and the red record light will come on during the install. I was hesitant at first but it worked.
Post upgrade, the cam recognized the write protect tab and I can now use more brands of SDHC.

Just did the V 1.10 upgrade on my EX3 myself and all went well. What a relief! The Mac PMW-EX3_1.10 software doesn’t seem to work om Mac OS X 10.4 (although the documentation sez Tiger) but the Win version works on XP. And during the upgrade, the REC light on the cam goes on a few times so be prepared.

Actually, I was trying to make a facetious comment (in ten words or less) which was much better said here:

Alas, I failed on both counts.

I long for the old days of on-line, A-B roll editing in $600.00/hr tape suites with the latest ADO and Super Hi-Band! 🙂

I am running OS X 10.4 PPC and looked into upgrading to 10.5. It’s very hard to source and the prices are outrageous!. I currently use a Dell laptop with an Express card slot running Windows XP. Clip Browser and ShotPut work great. I can download to a connected Firewire drive and then access the BPAV with XDCAM Transfer into Final Cut. Windows computers are less xpensive and I don’t have to worry about damaging a costly Macbook Pro out in the cruel, cruel field!

I never use the thumb wheel. It’s not responsive enough and my thumbs are too big. I always use the joy stick on top. Not as easy to access but much easier to use.

Yes, but a REAL camera has pro connectors. Can you spell BNC? Are you listening RED? OK, I admit I own an EX3 but the component out is still a flimsy compromise.

Isn’t he trying to get rid of “Colors” in the blacks?
