Camcorder Review - Sony Pmw-ex1

Sony has always been a brand that has tried to make video production faster and more flexible. The Sony PMW-EX1 is a first in the industry for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is the 1st video camera in the XDCAM-EX range that optimises the best of the SxS memory cards - a new media card format. Secondly, they are the first of their type of handheld camcorders that can provide the user with multiple frame rate recording. It also comes with Sony’s two year Silver Support when you buy from certain stores.

HD Quality

The Sony PMW-EX 1 has the option to record in a range of HD formats – 1080p, 1080i and 720p. This adds further functionality to the flexibility and creativeness available to you. To enhance this further, you can also record at 35Mb/s or 25Mb/s, making the PMW-EX 1 perfect for a wide variety of situations.

Outstanding Overall Operation

In addition to the reasons mentioned already, here are another set of reasons why this Sony Camcorder is a great model. As well as the high level of HD quality on offer and the performance ability of the non-linear XDCAM workflow, as a result of the compatible SxS Pro Memory Cards, storage and memory are bigger than ever with the two featured memory card slots that can provide up to 140 minutes of HD footage across just two 16GB cards. Post-production is also given a boost with a shutter setting that creates filmic operation.

All of these factors and more make the Sony PMW-EX1 a great camcorder for any professional videographer, especially when it includes Sony’s Silver Support.
