flash XDR, or....what else?
I am thinking of getting the ex3, and was told that a good accessory to have is the flash xdr, as I can record to 4 cf cards at 100mb/s, which should make it full HD in every sense of the term, correct?
my question, is the flash xdr the only device that allows this? I looked on BH and it sells for almost 5k. if I am gonna spend another 5k, I might as well get a different camera. any thoughts? |

You might be surprised! The new math to consider is ($8K + $5K) > $30K. The Flash XDR really improves the potential of your EX1/EX3 camera by bypassing the limitations of the 35Mbps 4:2:0 CODEC. Take a look at some of the images in the CODEC Torture Test thread.

hey mike.
the math is definately in my favor....its just I dont think I will be able to swing another 5k right now....but the product looks pretty sweet, and definately makes the ex3 hard to beat....so maybe sometime down the road. |

Nanno flash ...
Your answer is the Nanno/flash at 50/100 mgs.! If you are looking to do uncompressed then it's the XDR.
