XH to EX1comparison shots??? at DVinfo.net

Peter Jefferson · February 7th, 2008, 08:36 AM

Anyone have any comparisons of shots taken with both cameras side by side? EX and an XH (G1 or A1 or XL H1). I wont get my mitts on an EX to play with for at least 5 weeks and I wouldn't mind seeing some side by side shots good or bad light, I'm not fussed. Any help appreciated.

I second that and would also like to hear any stories of people who had the A1/G1/H1 and moved to the Ex. We are considering selling our two XH A1's and moving to the EX. Major workflow change, but the combo of HD-SDI, full HD, 1/2" CMOS, and tapeless looks like a winner for us.

I think there are some posts with comparisons, but I will try to do some this week with my A1 and EX.
From a user standpoint I see no comparison. The LCD on the EX-1 alone is worth the switch for me. The lens is just great. The EX is super sharp, but the A1 was a really sharp HDV camera, too, but I think for me it comes down to functionality. I plan to keep my A1 for people that need me to shoot tape, or to have as a second/backup camera, but I don't see myself using it that often.

Considering that the XH is a 1"/3 CCD camera up against a 1"/2 CMOS cam that weighs in at twice its price, I don't think you should expect too much. The XH is startlingly good value for a 20x zoom, but it really is in a different class.
