Sony's PMW-EX3 camcorder gets reviewed
If Sony's recently announced Full HD PMW-EX3 camcorder has skyrocketed to the top of your must-have list, you're probably interested to find out exactly how it performs before setting aside 13 large. Thankfully, Philip Bloom has done just that, grabbing the aforesaid camcorder and spending three full days critiquing it. On the whole, Mr. Bloom couldn't find much to kvetch about, noting that the design and ergonomics were excellent and the subtle tweaks in controls were well thought-out. Still, he did note that it was really an improved EX1 at its core, but that's far from being a negative comment. Give the read link a visit for the full-blown review, and check out a short shot with the EX3 while you're over.[Thanks, Nathaniel]
Sony's Full HD PMW-EX3 camcorder outed at NAB
As the HD camcorder onslaught continues, Sony is making sure it doesn't get left out by showcasing the PMW-EX3 in Las Vegas. Aside from handling interchangeable lenses, this cam also features a trifecta of 0.5-inch CCDs with Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, native 24p support, XDCAM HD EX recording on dual SxS cards, HD-SDI output, USB / 4-pin FireWire sockets and an optional 60GB disk recorder that plugs in via a SxS slot. Of course, we seriously hope you're planning to put this on the studio's plastic -- after all, it's not like you want that $13,000 charge hitting your card, right?[Via Broadcast Newsroom]
