First Official (paying client) use of EX3
Hi all,
Just want to share my experience in using my new EX3 for the first time today for a paying client. My EX3 has the Fujinon XS17x5,5BRM lens attached. WOW! How easy is it to use! The zoom rocker is positioned nicely forward, away from the camera handle and I can get my left hand easily over the lens and zoom at the exact pace I want (and I needed very slow today) by adjusting the 7 position zoom speed knob. Only room light available for lecturn style presentations. Ran my Sony radio mic, and had to use 3 x 8Gb SxS cards, easily swapping out card 1 after card 2 was recording. Zoomed out to WS and exchanged cards. Camera balanced nicely on my existing Miller Solo/DS10 combo that I use with the V1. My Solo/DS20 is ready for collection in the next day or 2. Focusing was a breeze thanks to variable VF peaking just like on my soon to be sold DXCD50 camera. A really good experience.

Isn't the zoom rocker soooo much easier to use on "proper" lenses on the EX3 rather than the supplied lens. Glad your shoot went well. I have a big 3D shoot this week with an EX1 and EX3.
