There is availability of both a histogram and/or brightness display in the LCD.
Get Noel to send you a brochure or download it from the sticky at the top of this forum

Cheers Vaughan

I am still getting up to speed on some of the EX information released. Are you saying there is a histogram/brightness graph or display in the LCD or it would be a good feature? I need to find more detailed literature on this. Invaluable tools, if included in the EX.

When I rang Tasman this morning, I landed Noel in sales and quickly struck a deal on the EX. Funny, small world, world wide forum. EX, I can't wait!

Thanks, feedback appreciated, Serena.

So what did you pay?? Be great to know what the Aust price is turning out to be.

cheers

Thanks Vaughan, I will dig deeper into the info already posted here.

Wes, Tasman bundled a few extras in their deal. Around AU$10k spent on their bundle, delivered.

The camera (2 x 8Gb cards) can be bought for A$9K -- depends on your bargaining power. The RRP (initial offer) is A$10439.

Wow Serena,

You better go and renegotiate mine for me (LOL)!

Ah, that wasn't my price! That was the interim outcome of the proposal I mentioned last week!

Please tell me more about this proposal, Serena? I missed that reference. I may order a second cam sooner or later. Thanks.

Also you must remember that each individual pixel is of a much smaller size on the EX1 than on the HVX, because of its number.

I was wondering about that myself, but if I calculate right it should be about the same given the increased chip size versus total number of pixels. And either way, one would hope that a larger sensor would yield some low-light advantage.

In regards to the test possibly being fudged or bungled, I'd say the HVX200 shot looks plausible at 0 db gain for any of the 1/3" chip HD cameras. Such cameras haven't been particularly good in low light, which is one of the big reasons people are interested in the EX1.
