Sony PMW-EX1 XDCAM HD camera

[sunderlandoful]

Great video. Does

This easily export To iMovie or

fCP?

[Elitehunter47]

Can it shoot in slow-mo? ^_^

[SalzbergProductions]

I've recently had a flicker effect as seen through the LCD. It's like a pulsating rhythmic wave that surges through the image. Any way of getting rid of this?

[Ruychaven]

Nice explanation

[MattJTV]

They use this camera on the show commercial kings! So does freddiew and smosh!

[GMSamuelRhine]

how much does this cost and how good is that quality, say compared to a pwd f800? i need a slightly cheaper alternative

[jessemillerman]

@GMSamuelRhine

it costs $6299.00. PDWF800 is closer to $35k

we keep these in stock, would you like to buy one?

we also have the pmw-ex3 for $8320.00

[francoisgrenier]

@GMSamuelRhine check out forums...nx5 might be 4 you.

[jessemillerman]

@BassmanSpiff2514

[LethargicBannanazZ]

how to you recommend a 13 year old try buying one of these with a 1500$ budget

[LethargicBannanazZ]

@dreydman I already have an ex1, but i needed another for my shortfilm, but I went with the 5d mark ii and the 60d.

[mybetterfilms]

anybody selling this camera cheap? I only have $3,000 budget, thank you

[seeingUFOsPA]

IF YOU WANT TO BUY THIS CAM CHEAP, contact me. I have very little use one for sale...

...with 8 & 16GB SXS cards, charger, software, books & all original packaging ... also and 1.6X Century teleconversion lens for it for $4995. Contact me if interested. Most hours on it are from play-back as I didn't have a card reader. Excellent condition & low actual use.

[irishvageta]

how does it handle low light, really low light



[bouchandre]

@irishvageta It handles it perfectly, thanks to the 1/2 chips!

[epicenur]

I want an HD camera that looks like a movie so I can do skits, like nigahiga, smosh, and all those youtubers. But I want to keep the complexity of the camera low, like I don't want all these buttons and shutters. Help please?

[2K3vin2]

What is the price of this camera ?

[bouchandre]

@2K3vin2 6k

[Mrisaiahturner1]

how long can you rent the ex1 for?

[whcmennblk]

Now please hand over m y camera back :))

[trekmil]

como cuanto cuesta esa camara

[JSprayaEntertainment]

only worth 5000 if your making a harry potter movie... ane youtube guy that buys this is Dreaming

[bouchandre]

@JSprayaEntertainment this is actually for low budget fillmaking and student. For a harry potter movie, you get the RED ONE for like 40k or a cine camera for 100k or more

[JSprayaEntertainment]

@bouchandre oh , nice , but im saying you only would say , something is " Only 5000 bucks ", if your rich or have a huge budget , Anyway i Think the Transformers 3 ( hd 3d Cam ) is the best money can buy right now

[SuperAzproductions]

[napalm868]

@vdoggyd98 $7000+

[euseermide]

Do you think this camera is good for filming nightclubs? I am planning to buy one of these! Worth it?

[KawaRider88]

Why do camcorders cost so much???? I saw a sony camcorder that list for $94,999???? Why do these cameras cost so much? They aren't made of gold you know.

[slash2k0]

@KawaRider88 Broadcast quality lenses alone cost upwards of $100,000 :) they probably cost less than 10,000 to make, if your really proffesional, money doesn't matter so everything is expensive

[bulldozerHW]

anyone who loves cameras will get a boner just looking at it.......uh oh....joking

[NONSENSEchannel]

@vdoggyd98 $7,790.00 U.S. List Price

[jessemillerman]

@KennyGkienan yes they do.

so let me know when you're ready, rent or buy, we can help at midtown.

thanks!

jesse

[KennyGkienan]

@jessemillerman hey thanks ,man but i can barley afford a happy meal at mcdonalds so i dont think i can afford this thing haha i was just asking

[ilovebetty]

Nice vids, dude.

I shoot with this cam, and I'm a huge fan of all the things you mentioned.

One thing to keep in mind, this cam tends to shoot a little hotter than the OSD implies. I've gotten home to find some shots that looked great in cam are just a bit too blown out to avoid some post work.

I've done my best to learn the sweet spots, (just as with any cam, you gotta use it, to use it well.) I usually try to iris to just under the brightness that I *think* I will need. Then voila! DETAIL!

[GanEdenAustralia]

Cheesy but cool vid mate.

[jessemillerman]

@GanEdenAustralia thanks for writing.

our videos have become steadily less cheesy over the years, check out some of our newer stuff, i hope you'll enjoy it.

[22805852]

Which is better adobe premiere or final cut pro or sony vegas?

I would love to have you in my msn contacts I have so many questions that long for your help!! thanks friend

[jessemillerman]

@22805852 i have the most success with final cut pro.

each production team is different though. my email address is all over my videos, send me a note and we'll chat

[22805852]

what is the name of sotware that screen background? with the these video editing

[jessemillerman]

@22805852 Final Cut Pro

[IngenuityFilms]

Is it true that the EX1 (and EX1R) shoots in 4:2:0 color? I'm torn between the HPX170, XF300 and the EX1R.

[jessemillerman]

@IngenuityFilms its true.

but!

don't be fooled by a single characteristic, like color space.  comparisons in image favor the ex1, in ergonomics favor the 170, and in pure math favor the xf300.

and i sell all three, so let me know your preference and let's hook you up!

-jesse

[IngenuityFilms]

@jessemillerman Thanks for the information. I suppose you could always work around the color space witht he EX1R buy using a nanoflash to capture 4:2:2 at 100MB/S+. the entire rig would run under $10k and is a serious option but what's your take on the upcoming AF100? What you're opinion regardig the AVCHD coden they're using ocmpared to Mpeg-2? someone recently said that 24Mb/s AVCHD was equivalant to 45Mb/s Mpeg-2...?

[jessemillerman]

@IngenuityFilms

AVCHD is not up to speed yet, particularly because the only cameras recording in that codec have tiny little chips. the giant 1/2" cmos chips on the EX cameras allow for great low-light performance and also shallower depth of field than the smaller chip cameras. nanoflash is a perfect solution. send me an email and i'll prepare a proposal for you. jesse is the email name, and midtownvideo is the domain. its a com

[Ronfather]

Your recording time of 140 minutes is inaccurate. All of the Sony EX series of cameras offer the ability to hot swap cards, so theoretically you have no limit to your record time rather space on your hard drive as long as you can dump your cards. Also, to get 140 minutes off of two 16 gig cards requires setting the camera to SP and downsizing resolution to 1440x1080 (at best) rather then full 1080. I love this camera and use it everyday, but if your going to advertise rentals - get facts right

[englanzil]

Hi i wan to know i got a sony hdr cs100e and i dont understand the hd fh all that.

can anyone tell me what all those means.

[DeutscheTutorials4U]

love it....i wanna buy one lol

[Darkozl]

wow that camera's worth more than my car. want it!

[xpors]

what do i look like a bank

[ImHomeAtLast]

jeez! i love this camera. i love the professional look, it wouldn't be so awkward when interviewing people compared to my dinky hd cam. any ideas of a cam under $1000 with the same look?

[nazguluzan]

@ImHomeAtLast i guess a SONY HD1000E is what you'r looking for if you just want a nice HD cam to have a more proffesional look. should be good enough for just interviewing but for it's really just a consumer camera in a prosumer camera body.

I don't really like it, but if you want to get rid of the awkwardness of a small consumer HD cam, this might be the solution.

[CleverNameStudios]

I wish I had that camera

[ciber101010101]

how much is it to rent? (send me a message pls)

[AmericansSexualPreds]

ghay, al i can say

[SignatureVideoGroup]

I shoot all my videos on the ex1 and I love it. Its especially great in low light. Check out some of my videos to see what I mean.

[5876969]

@SignatureVideoGroup how much is the ex1?

[SignatureVideoGroup]

Roughly about 7k (usd) for just the body. Keep in mind you should buy bigger SXS memory cards depending on what is originally given.

[dtzfilms]

I injested some EX3 footage into fcp 6 and now I'm having trouble getting my project out to Youtube. Any ideas? I"m doing the H.264, quicktime conversion. Appreciate any help...

[jessemillerman]

[Backin1985]

Ha ha that sucks, just try leaving that chip near a magnet or mobile phone and see what happens - thats your footage down the drain mr.

[06012108]

Awsome!

[WHATSTHEP0INT]

hahaha, the background music is default music on the Mac!!! hahaha

[MichaelFrymus]

So, im still thinking about a camera. Sony EX1 or the new coming Scarlet 2/3" cinema. I dont know which will be cheaper. This I need to buy a 35mm Letus adapter. $5K.

What about this lens. Can I remove it an add my own? And how would it go with the letus? I heard that is a fixed lens, true? I dont understand that.

So, what would I need to buy? Camera, letus, and what lens to that? any?

Just for simple shooting at first. I m asking if I need any special lens or anything with the letus adapter.

[sweetnssssssssssss]

i just cummed in my pants

[toddwags23]

@sweetnssssssssssss I came all over my FX1!

[cheergirl99999994]

this camera costs around £4200

[ironmaidenman77]

I just finished filming a short film with this camera, and I have to say I recommend this to anyone. It was fairly easy to learn and handle. Had no problem with it on dolly's or jibs, and I loved shooting slow-motion scenes with it.

[jessemillerman]

thanks for your feedback! new EX1R is out now... check out our other vids!

[DirectThis1]

how much is it though?

[Dex22008]

Awesome !

[xrxsxbx10]

Hi Jesse!

Great review, im planning to buy my first camcorder and ive been doing research and now im just between the:

PMW-EX1

and

Canon XH G1S

I really want to make a great inversion that is going to last at least 3 to 4 years, can you give me an advise on wich one to buy.

Thanls

[jessemillerman]

hi, thanks for writing, and your kind words.

my preference is DEFINITELY for the PMW-EX1. superb picture quality.

canon is great too, particularly if you want to use tape.

the best part: i sell both of those cameras! please give me a call and we'll talk about your options: 305 669-1117

thanks,

j

[Avtosh2008]

Once in lifetime investment for a camcorder and you will never need to buy every few years a new camcorder.

I have a 8 years old DV camcorder, Sony TRV420E. During that time it was 2500 gulden, but gulden was twice cheaper as euro so it would be 5000 euros. I dont think there is much difference with the latest 600 dollars camcorders.

[artdv1]

A pretty incomplete review, considering there wasn't even a mention of the number one problem with this camera, the rolling shutter distortion it causes.

And that is not a small problem.

look it up everyone. thanks.

[Raz3R10]

This biatch is so sweet, I want to have one... but there's a problem. It costs 30 000 pln. Outrageous xD

[yaripua]

HI it is very dificult to get this cam in Spain mate you thing is worthy ti buy it in the UK ???, Are you from there? Congrats for your company it looks very competent

[chivadude]

how much are these?

[P4rrotBoy94]

I think, about £4000

[backuprotection]

Great camera, have to say that background music sounds familiar, it's from soundtrack pro right?

[jessemillerman]

yeah, well, uh... soundtrack pro copied that from us.  8)

[LoudRoarStudios]

totaly awsome

[jirehtzl]

how much do those dcost in sing dollars

[MFrymus]

hey, I wanna get a camera, preferably with a shoulder mount. I am looking to shoot some videos in HD outdoors and also indoor. And also with the same camera indoors in very low lighting.

I need something that is professional movie quality. As close as possible around the $2500CAD price range.

Can you recommend something?

this is not for any professional business. I just want a GOOD HD cam, to make movies, trailers, and later on inside, theatre stage performances.

recommend anything?

[jessemillerman]

hello. unfortunately, you won't find anything good in low light for that budget.

of course, you may find the quality acceptable with whatever you end up with.

best of luck.

[christian22016]

Hi. Actually, the Sony HDR-FX1 is an excellent unit. It looks similar to this PMW-EX1 but uses mini dv tapes. It has the extra upper handle....most of the same manual controls (focus, zoom, iris, etc) 3ccd chips...and it shoots in full HD. I just saw one on ebay earlier tonight in the price range you mentioned. I have used an HDR-FX1 before, and it handles wonderfully. I mostly do weddings and small commercial work.

[rssie]

If someone wants to watch alot of footage made with this camera, go to this youtube-profile: Teemong

[rssie]

oops, i mean maade with XH A1

[getmewildO2]

that sure is expensive!

[jomigirock]

Is the Lens changeable or no?

[ziryab92]

No, the lens is not changeable on the PMW-EX1. This is only possible with the PMW-EX3.

[coastnative]

It is the Holy Grail however, for now.

Interesting also is how Sony is killing their own market, coming out with new cameras which approach the high $ ones, for half the price.

Good for consumers anyway. Maybe they'll seriously dent Canon's lead soon in the general industry.

[KhalsaSoulja]

This camera is just under 5K on eBay.

May i just say 'HELL NO' despite how good it is.

[TheTarantula26]

lol that guy is too jolly for his own good

[papaj48]

How do I import into final cut pro or imovie?

[jessemillerman]

please see our video entitled EX and FCP

[helvetica777]

Do they have any high definition audio in these HD Cameras. Because if your gonna have HD Video your gonna need HD AUDIO. IF THEY DO , DO THEY HAVE LIKE DOLBY TRUE HD 5.1 CHANNEL SURROUND SOUND, OR LPCM 7.1 CHANNEL SURROUND SOUND?

[mahamza86]

Finally a tapeless semi pro camera that works

[jan6465]

Hi Jessei

Whats the best camera for a simmi pro how wants to manke good quality dokumentery

Jan From Denmark

[jessemillerman]

hi Jan.

i highly reccomend the Sony PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3

[XhowdidwegethereX]

Hey

i have 3 main questions:

im really into making short films and want to get a camra like this to shoot them on but im not too good at techy things and im afraid that i wont be able to use it, how easy would you say it is to use?

Also how much would a camara like this cost? and if it is a bit tricky, could you recommend any smaller, easier camaras which still qive the same good quality?

Thanks alot.

[adamisthereinventer]

The reason Sony cameras are overpriced is because they hold all the tiny functions and many of the pointless ones you find yourself never using. That's really why I switched to Canon. This looks like a great camera, but Sony is forgetting the people who are looking at these Cameras don't want to spend 10 grand lol

[ferlonjrTV]

Very Nice!!!

[tolstoymex]

does the pmw-ex1 do shot in full HD (1080 p) 24p

[jessemillerman]

yes

[NickChafin]

No it doesn't. It will shoot 720 24p, but at 1080p it won't. It will shoot 30p though at 1080.

[jessemillerman]

thanks for writing Nick.

you are wrong though. the PMW-EX1 (and EX3) both record in native progressive 1080 24p.

luckily, because the live HD-SDI output automatically applies a pull-down, the signal is compatible with switchers including the panasonic AVHS line that only accept 1080 signals in 59.94i

[Markisagoodboy]

Lets help each other get one by sending each other ten buck towards it.

[jessemillerman]

thank you very much! this video was shot with Sony's PDW-F350 XDCAM HD camcorder.

[minion5157]

With what kind of camera was this video filmed with? The quality is very nice.

[jessemillerman]

if you are shooting a stage performance, i would skip the "hd" requirement and look for something that performs well in low light situations. many of the smaller hd cameras DO NOT.

the Z7U is a great HD camera for Low light, and the Z5U is a lower cost version that would also work

[jessemillerman]

hello. yes, it absolutely is worth paying more, if your profession requires high quality video. think of it as a capital investment

there is a major difference between the consumer cameras you can find anywhere and professional broadcast cameras.
