Yea... and a lot of people would feel that the servo lens on the HVX200A, although not perfect, is good enough.

The point that I was trying to get across is before the HVX went through its update, there wasn't any contest; the EX 1 was the only consideration between the two. But, now, those with a limited budget will take that extra look at the HVX because of the lower price and basically... it's good enough.

Now if the budget is there, the choice is easy in my opinion; it would be the EX 1 for the lens (as you brought up), the 1/2 inch sensors, and HD-SDI out.
