Ex1r or ex3
Need a second camera, which one to get?
I prefer the ex3 because of the feel and better connectors, but in terms of image and such which one is preferable? |
Image wise they are exactly the same. If it is your second camera you may want the EX3 though, so you can lock timecode between the two for a two camera shoot.

Does the EX1R still have the IR issue?
|
Supposedly less so, but still a little controversy about it.
Do a search on this forum and you'll find threads about it. |
Boris,
1. If you do a lot of outdoor shooting in the bright sunshine in your country for sure go for the EX3 - the viewfinder arrangement is excellent*. 2. If you do a lot of travel (especially airline travel) with your camera go for an EX1r - it really is a lot easier to get into the carry on bins. 3. If IR is a concern, consider the new Canon XFs, but be aware that in low light the EXs have the edge (in my view, from what I've seen). * Note - Even if you go for the EX1r or XF you might want to consider something like this - it'll still no way be as good as the real EX3 system (in my view) but some swear they work well. http://www.hoodmanusa.com/products.asp?dept=1065 There may be the odd snippet of information in my personal review of the EX3 which might help you too. http://www.shootingimage.co.uk/Sony%...EX3Review.html Hope this helps! |
Thank you for your input, andy i enjoyed your review, good luck with your work.

Boris,
What is your first camera? If you already have an EX3 then I'd probably go for the EX1r. I however prefer the ergonomics of the EX3 and have Olaf's shoulder mount system which really makes it great for off tripod shots. I agree with Andy that the viewfinder on the EX3 is very good and I've got an lcd monitor for when I'm on sticks or director view. -Garrett |
Got the ex3 - nice, need to learn it.
One thing though is annoying - not possible to change white balance preset. e.g CC filter/button. First small test. YouTube - New camera test1 |
You can change the WB preset value via the Picture Profile menus.
