I do have both cameras actually, I have over 15 cameras. The Ex3 is not Broadcast quality for my clients . I don’t care what argument you make about what you think qualifies HD. My clients which include Discovery HD, Sci Fi channel,Lifetime,NBC,CTV,ESPN its 35Mb. Again, you clients may take Ex3 as HD, great mine will not. FP cameras are only allowed 20% for final product and that must be approved.(Underwater) But even underwater they would prefer a HVX-200. 1/2 inch cameras do not qualify for Broadcast 2/3 min. 1/2 inch camera are defined as professional cameras as defined by SMPTE.

again I am done. If you want a Ex1 I sell you ours.

[Michael Shugrue]

Again were done..
you have your thoughts and the rest us us have ours

EX-3 is not 4:2:0 not sure where you read this. All of the white papers express HQ- No where does it say HD and at 35 MBPS.
Sony has selected its words carefully.

From Sony
Specifically designed for use with XDCAM EX camcorders, the PHU-60K hard-disk unit is a
1.8-inch, 60 GB external storage unit with a USB 2.0 interface. Users can achieve approximate
recording times of 200 minutes in 35Mbps HQ (high-quality) mode and 260 minutes in 25Mbps
SP (standard play) mode.

Anyways I am done with this.

Keep it simple. While I think the 500 is a very good camera. If you ever have a problem with one of the ex’s and it fails you have a back up. However but EX3 not a true HD camera
its only High Resolution Camera
its only 4:2:0 (pal) color sampling – might not be enough to broadcast demand

To answer the question they used everything. 3700’s,3000,2700’s from Panasonic. 800’s,700’s,1500’s from Sony plus alot more. Even Std Def PDW-530 XDCAM to the Swiss broadcasters they had 7 just from us.
And quite a few P2 Cards all 32 gigs.

[Michael Shugrue]

Nope it has not, We have actually used the HPX-500 and cut it with the 3700. Since the 3700 does not go above 30fps. The had a few shots they wanted at 48 and 60 fps. So they used it, Yes its a different format and at 720. But it worked.

Canon ball .. nope just you opinion as we all have. The ex does make nice pictures,but I don’t rent many, the ENG/Doc Style camera guys hate the feel of the pro sumer cameras. They like the feel of a camera on their shoulders. its not what you have, its what the Post super wants to fit into their edit system.
