I'd be careful about referring to reviews written a year ago. For instance, the HVX200 has recently been updated (HVX 200A) and it is much closer to the picture quality of the EX1 and sensitivity for that matter. The EX1 still has 1/2 inch chips but at over $1K higher in price. Plus, the HVX gives you a 16gig card. I believe through a rebate you can get an 8gig card with the EX1. Also, the rolling shutter and 4:2:0 color space that the EX1 employs bothers me a bit. I know; you can get 4:2:2 out of the SDI port. Although I think the picture quality still appears better on the EX1, "beats hands down" is now obselete thinking when comparing these two cameras. For the money I now believe that the HVX 200A is the better choice.
