I don't think I said that the HPX500 image was "that bad", just that it looked slightly soft. Could be any number of reasons for this, but I know the Varicam is top quality so when I get the two side-by-side I'll get a better idea of how the 500 looks.
I must say that the image quality from the EX1 I tried briefly was tremendous, a really nice quality to it as well as sharp. Not sure you need to look much at chip size (1/3" vs 1/2"), more the codec, pixels on the chip and how they're processed.
