EX1 is HD only. I don't know of a camera that will shoot HD 4x3. You can downconvert the HD footage to SD.

Final Cut Pro will allow the use of SD and HD footage in the same timeline. Not sure...

I have both the JVC HD100 and an EX1 (or I should say I shoot with an EX1, my employer owns it). The EX1 is better by about 3 or 4 stops in low light. No comparison at all.

Ted,

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably shoot tape anyway at first with the Firestore until I feel that I have a full grasp of the device and how it works. I see spending $700 on a camera...

Welcome to the club, I still own an HD100 as a personal camera, but for my day job I use a Sony EX1. I love it.

The JVC is good for certain kinds of jobs though.

I have found that if you shoot interlaced (1080i60) you get better low light performance.

Turn your shutter off as well. You can get away with about +9db and still be pretty clean.

Actually the S/N is a sticker that they could have replaced. It did come back with the strap that I had put on it. I think that it is more likely that they put a new case on it.
