Sony PMW-EX3

The PMW-EX3 follows on from the successful launch of the new PMW-EX1
and offers all the great features of the PMW-EX1 in a new semi-shoulder
design. In addition to this new design the camcorder also features an interchangeable lens system, genlock, timecode and remote control
capability for real added flexibility, offering a low-cost HD studio solution.
The PMW-EX3 combines a state-of-the-art, non-linear XDCAM workflow
 with simply  the best HD quality yet seen in a semi-shoulder camcorder. It is
also the first semi-shoulder camcorder to carry the legendary CineAlta 24P brand with multiple frame rate recording capability such as 59.94i, 50i, and native
 23.98P, as well being 1080i/720P switchable.
There is also a choice of a 35Mb/s High Quality mode or a 25Mb/s, HDV
1080i compatible mode. To take advantage of this high performance
recording capability, the PMW-EX3 uses the same imaging system as the
PMW-EX1, consisting of three
½-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920x1080.
In addition, there's a purpose-built interchangeable Fujinon Professional
HD ½-inch  14x lens and a unique dual focus ring mechanism. Included in
 the package is a ½-inch lens adaptor to allow use of other ½-inch lenses,
plus the ability to use other optional lens adaptors for 2/3rd-inch, cinema-style
and digital SLR lenses.
To maximise recording time, the PMW-EX3 has two memory card slots
which means with a pair of 16 GB SxS PRO memory cards, it can record
up to 140 minutes of HD footage.
A wide variety of accessories are also available, including a USB
Reader/Writer, a wide-conversion lens, battery and charger.
The PMW-EX3 HD compact camcorder is the ideal solution for a wide
range of customers from broadcasters through to independent videographers and film makers who want exceptional HD picture quality and state-of-the-art workflow from an affordable semi-shoulder camcorder.
