Thanks for posting the review Philip,
I take back my gruff attitude, July is a decent period to introduce an change,. Looks like a very good upgrade. The viewfinder thing is big to me. Any of the other changes I was hoping for in the camera? - a real distance readout on the viewfinder - a second white balance pre-set - did they add a status window that shows you your PP settings at a glance. lenny |

Thanks Phil. Enjoyed watching your on-camera talents too!
The announcement made me annoyed initially, but what can you do. Unless you have a bottomless budget, things get pretty obsolete pretty quickly. The Canon H1/A1 comparison was what I was thinking, and again, the images are going to be the same. Anyways, Phil thanks for your hard work. |

Thanks Phil ...
Great to see this camera come out and as you said in the article, this puts pressure on the camera producers to step up to the plate.
This camera has the qualities that I've always wanted in a small form camera, so, I'm in when they come out. The off putting problems with the EX1, rolling shutter (not really a problem) and back focus issues, always kept me a little edgy on the EX1. I'm sure there will be something on the EX3 that will cause some problems but Sony seems to have it's fingers on the pulse of what people want to have in a small form camera! Thanks Sony! |

Great review, Philip, especially the video one. Very informative and enthusiastic. I'm guessing you like it, hehe... Thanks so much for doing it and letting us know.
Boy, oh boy times are good with all these great cameras coming out. Can't wait to see Scarlet and the responses from Panasonic and Canon. |

Great review, and nice looking camera. If i was rich enough i would like to upgrade just for the better build aspects really, however i'm comforted in knowing that the EX3 won't produce 'better images' than the EX1, rather it just makes things a little easier and more practical.

Thanks for the review Phil I like the video. Too bad it's not 4:2:2.

true but I guess you just look at it as the EX1 in a different body. A 4:2:2 camera I am sure will come out some day.

It looks great, I'd definitely change my EX1 for an EX3 simply because of the viewfinder.
Thanks Phil. |

Oh, and I have being in front of the camera, much happier the other side. Awkward as well as I filmed it myself. Crazy!
