Then its just the size of the PMW-100 compared to the Z1 and or 150/200. ND filters would be a little of an issue as well. |

Re: New Sony PMW-150 XDCAM 422
I think you would be disappointed with the PMW-100. It's a single sensor camera using essentially what is just one of the sensors from the 150. So resolution etc is quite noticeably lower than the 150/200. No ND filters, not the best of lenses etc. IMHO it's a waste using 50Mb/s XDCAM to record the below par output from the 100. The best codec in the world will never make up for a lesser quality lens and sensor. The 150/200 are in a different league to the 100. An EX1 is a far better camera than the PMW-100.

I also suspect the PMW200 is likely to have better resale potential than the 150. The PMW100? Obviously not as good as the PMW200 by a big margin - but we're now at a very different price point. I'd try to go for the 200 if you can afford it, the 100 if you can't. |

Agree 100%. There's no question about that.

Here in the U.S. the B&H price for the PMW200 is 6,299, but for the PMW160 (150 equivalant) the price is 7,790. That's nearly $1,500 more for the PMW150. Does anybody have a clue about this price difference? |

I'd say the PMW200 was a better specced camera than the PMW150, for the reasons above, so the PMW200 costing more didn't surprise me. As reference, then in the UK expect to pay £4,650+VAT for the PMW200 (Sony PMW-200 (PMW200) Full HD XDCAM EX 1/2inch CMOS camcorder with 50Mb/s recording) and £4,000+VAT for the PMW150 (Sony PMW-150 (PMW150) 3 x 1/3inch CMOS HD Camcorder with 50Mb/s internal recording) The B&H pages do say the PMW160 isn't available yet - I wonder if the price currently given is recommended price, street price to be confirmed? |
