Re: Is 500 hours much for a used EX1/3?
Stuck pixels are a curse of CCD's and CMOS imagers. They show up as white dots. A certain number can be programmed out when you black balance. They show up more when gain is up. There are fixes but...

Re: EX1 mic holder (same as EX3?)
Mine has broken several times.
I just epoxy it back together. 5 min epoxy works great, and it is about as strong as it was to start with.

Re: Should the EX3 or the FS700 be my A-camera?
I use both. The 700 is the A cam most of the time. The EX3 is really easy to grab quick off the shoulder shots with and pow shots that would be hard to keep in focus with the 700.
I love my EX3...

Re: Lenses wiggles on the Metabones adapter.
I make my own it does not require 15mm rails and is very light. It is part of my UniCamRail system that also has a shoulder kit and large battery plate for counterbalance if you want an ENG setup.

Re: Lenses wiggles on the Metabones adapter.
It is always a good idea to use a lens support, on bigger lenses and if the lens wiggles I would say it is very important. My Canon L's are solid on the Metabones but I still always use the lens...

Re: Powering fs700 with anton bauer batteries?
