I don’t agree in most part with their review, I’ve used the EX1 a lot over the last couple of years and I find the FS100 to be broadly similar especially with the stock lens. It’s not a shoulder mount camera of course, and you do need to take more care with focus, but I’ve been filming some actuality with it and I found very little restriction with it.
Also the fact you can shoot with 18db of gain, with almost zero noise really helps in poorly lit situations. The picture at 18db is actually cleaner than an EX1 picture.
