Gamma in the XDCAM EX/PMW-EX1

[SalzbergProductions]

This is really helpful! Just wondering how you achieve a strong depth of field, and how do you get to these special menus? Also, would you consider the EX1 as outdated?

[formattester6]

excellent information!!

[sexydanny21awesome]

I heard this camera is going drop 2 thousand dollars in two years due the fact there is already a ex2 im hoping this is true cause I really wanna buy it

[hudstone420]

it's a awesome camera, i have had mine for 3 months

Is it heavy and is it worth it?

Hi Nice footage. I own a HVX200 and am thinking I am going to sell it as it just produces so much noise and grain in the image no matter what I do to fight it with light. i was wondering how well the PMW-EX1 is with grain and noise in the image, especially in dark shots? Thanks.

It does very, very well in low light. So does the Sony Z7, incidentally. The Exmor DSP is AWESOME in any of the newer cameras. Then again, I'm not at all a fan of the HVX, it's noisy, grainy, and too soft for my taste.

[stuartcohen36]

Thanks for the info...yeah...I am actaully scared to actually use the HVX on anything important now as the noise is so apparent even in good lighting conditions. I will probbably sell it and go for the Sony instead. If you go to my page and look at the music video I just stuck up you can see how bad the grain is even in sunny outdorr shots. Was so dissapointed when I got the footage back on the computer. Im hoping the Sony will beat it hands down. Thanks.

[VASSTKid]

The EX more than beats it hands down. The Panasonic is 960 x 540 at the sensor, they BS everyone on the bitrate, and because of the small sensor, the "4:2:2" that they claim is equal BS. Sony EX is full-raster, has incredible noise-reduction/processing. I liked Panny products until they misled the world with the HVX.

We'll be posting some Z7 and EX comparisons soon, in low light too.

[stuartcohen36]

Thanks for that...I am just looking around now to see where i can sell my HVX200 at a reasonable price...only a year old so hopefully wont make a huge loss. I also use the canon xha1 and its great even under a street light at night...just turn gain to manaul...select 0 and perfect no nooise at all. Panasonic has really missed that vital step here me thinks. So I hear the Sony does the varible frame as well? Also have you heard of anyone putting the files in to adobe premiere yet? thanks again.

[VASSTKid]

Adobe Premiere CS3 now fully supports .mxf files, so there is great support for the EX and XDCAM HD.

Sony has variable framerates to 60fps.

[stuartcohen36]

great news as just previously purchased cs3. does it scale down to SD okay? As I would mainly be doing stuff at the mo that is out putted to normal DVD discs and not HD?

ah so they mxf files like the hvx200?

[lkvideo]

When is the DVD going to be available? Do you go over how to convert HQ 1080i to DVD in Sony Vegas? Thanks. Fan of your videos for many years.

[DVideos]

I'll be getting this as soon as it's available. That price is w/o a doubt completely acceptable to me. If you're spending 6500-7000 on this camera, and you're not willing to spend 79 bux on training, then maybe you don't need to be buying this camera :)

[guifreelpilef]

Is the DVD only in english ?

[englishwarbow]

I'm hoping to obtain one of these cameras later in the year, I think you've just got yourself a customer for your DVD! Superb.

[frankygunpowder]

Seems interesting! How does this DVD compare to the Vortex Ex1 dvd, besides price?

[VASSTTraining]

The price on the DVD is 79.00 for over 2 hours of training

[mikebuddy1]

interesting clip,i want to get this dvd but price is prohibitaly expensive!

thanks for posting
