new sony XDCAM EX3
 

hi all, anyone know more about new sony XDCAM? I've been to a Sony presentation a week ago for Z7, S270, monitors, etc. at the end they told as something about the NEW XDCAM no much... should be presented on august 2008, it's a polo shoulder camcorder.

more info at NAB for this one. Not much around just yet.

That would seem to imply that there's an EX2 as well...

Maybe Sony only does uneven numbers, like BMW 1/3/5/7-series...

that wouldn't explain the BMW 6 or 8 series.

But it would explain the Sony HC1, 3, 5, 7 and FX/Z 1 and 7. Of course the theory falls apart with the SRs and almost anything else...

surprise
 

Bob Ott at Sony said there would be a big XDCAM surprise at NAB. Maybe 4:2:2? Maybe SD downconversion? Maybe shoulder mount?

I didn´t know about this one....

I guess this is (was) the surprise Phil Bloom mentioned on his blog.

I'll be checking that out on Monday in Las Vegas! :)

Some exciting stuff there! I need to start doing the lottery!

WOW!! All I can say is that I am glad I waited.

Very nice
 

Beautiful camera.

I think that was the Letus Ultimate "Spinner" entry on his blog today...
