Thanks Seth! ...

Hi Phil! Really enjoying the updates.

I noticed on your site that you have a Steadicam Merlin. Have you tried it with the EX1 yet, and if so, how has it handled? Thanks!

Hey Mike,

Should we take that to mean you'd still generally prefer a tape-based workflow to tapeless? If so, I'd love to know why. Is it the archiving?

John,

Sounds like fun! I'll be more in the packed-bar rock scene 'round Austin (at least some of the time), so I'll need to be mobile. I'd love to see the results of a test like that for sure...

Bottom line: is the audio any kind of a dealbreaker?

Hi all!

Time to upgrade my camera setup, and while the EX1 is hard to get and in early-adopter phase, I've been thinking about the V1U. I've poured over the previous threads on the subject, but...
