Sony PMW-EX1 Camcorder

The PMW-EX1 is the first in the XDCAM EX range - which record onto memory-based SxS ExpressCard media. The PMW-EX1 combines non-linear XDCAM workflow with simply the best HD quality yet seen in a compact camcorder.

It is also the first handheld 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-EX1 uses an all-new imaging system consisting of three ½-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920x1080 to produce images in full HD resolution. In addition, there´s a purpose-built Fujinon Professional HD 1/2 inch 14x lens and a unique dual focus ring mechanism.

In fact, there are innovations in every detail of the PMW-EX1, such as selectable gamma curves and "Slow & Quick Motion" capability.

The PMW-EX1 has two memory card slots which means with a pair of 32 GB SxS PRO memory cards, it can record up to 280 minutes of HD footage at 25Mb/s or 200 minutes at 35Mb/s.
