Sony announces the XDCAM EX
This looks like Sony's answer to the HVX200. 1080i/p and 720p, 1/2 inch sensors, flash-based storage, two PC card slots (16 gb each, one hour video per card), 24p and other frame rates, slow and fast motion. I noticed it said CineAlta on the right side.

still 35 mbps?
Joe edit: guess it must be if you do the math on 35mbps to 16gig which becomes an hour.. Last edited by Joe Lawry; April 15th, 2007 at 06:21 PM. Reason: thought for myself slightly. |

This is what happens when you give steroids to the Z1u.

Wow.
Looks like a Z1 and a Canon H1 had a kid. Depending on the price and if it can in fact shoot in "off" frame rates, this could be a winner (esp for all us Vegas users) |

I like its specs.. but design.. umm yea, the lens unit looks good layout wise and 1/2" chips is nice, no indication on the photo as to what they are however.
A definite answer to the hvx with i'll tentatively say the res to boot. |

Nice, looks like the iris ring has stops, possibly the focus too. I wonder what this bad boy is going to cost?
It being xdcam, will it use the discs or the cards? |

Sony basically said that XDCAM HD is any sort of acquisition, etc., that is non-linear and device-based vs. tape-based. Not the exact words, but close enough. (grin)
Flash-based PC cards. Price--no idea, but maybe $7000 or $8000 to compete with the HVX, I'm guessing. It's a small camera, maybe as big as a DVX100b or a V1u, but a little taller, I think. Vince Pace was in the audience, btw--he and James Cameron developed the Pace/Cameron Fusion camera for 3D applications, like Cameron's AVATAR. And, of course, 4k projection: SXRD. Muvico is replacing their film projectors with this bad boy in all their theatres, I believe. NICE! Now a reason to go back to the theatres. heath

Fixed lens, as far as I could tell.
