shoulder mount EX5 or something would make sense. Then you could choose.
1) Hand held EX1 2) Semi shoulder EX3 3) Full shoulder EX5 |

For the EX series, probably not much will change other than price drop. There are already Bstock EX's drifting into the market. |

Thanks again Brian, wanted to wait for NAB before I bought, just in case.
So if I want to buy, theres no reason not to, except for the £££$$$$ :) Thanks. |

EX5 is an interesting concept??? |
I just returned from NAB, and the JVC GY-HM700U looked to be superior to the Sony EX-3 . . . and it's $1,500.00 cheaper.
I own an EX-3, and am thinking of selling it so as to buy the JVC. I never thought I would say that, but the JVC is an awesome camera for the price. I have never seen an image like that in that price range. Check it out . . . JVC Professional Features page |

There are a lot of appealing things about the camera: form factor, ergos, button placement, size but it is a 1/3" camera. I wouldn't call it a better camera it is different and certainly has a lot of ENG style ergos going for it and button placement that makes you wish Sony wouldn't feel obliged to hobble the usability of the EX cameras so they push some into buying their more expensive ENG line of cams. It is nice but Panasonic has now come out with a cheapo ENG style 1/3" camera as well. You can't pitch HD cable channels with footage on 1/3" cameras. No go. |

I hope Sony bring a shoulder mount EX series camera. I have to say that the image from my EX1 is far cleaner than any 1/3" camera, period. You can't compare 1/3" to 1/2'. Just as with 1/2" to 2/3".
The larger the chip the cleaner the image, in all areas. The only thing I dont like is the small form factor like the EX1. I do a lot of moving about and it takes just that little bit longer to set up and also I just want a shoulder mount. If the F350 and all the extra bits needed was in my price range I would have gone for that but sadly "with a smile though" my budget brought me to the EX1. |

Dose the EX3 VFinder slide over far enough for a left eye operator. Thanks all again. |

This is a real shame as I was looking forward to the JVC models. But they are not a patch on the recorded final picture of the EX. |
