Sony EX-3
The PMW-EX3 combines a state-of-the-art, non-linear XDCAM workflow with simply the best HD quality yet seen in a semi-shoulder camcorder. It is also the first semi-shoulder camcorder to carry the legendary CineAlta 24P brand with multiple frame rate recording capability such as 59.94i, 50i, and native 23.98P, as well being 1080i/720P switchable. There is also a choice of a 35Mb/s High Quality mode or a 25Mb/s, HDV 1080i compatible mode. To take advantage of this high performance recording capability, the PMW-EX3 uses the same imaging system as the PMW-EX1, consisting of three ½-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920x1080. In addition, there's a purpose-built interchangeable Fujinon Professional HD ½-inch 14x lens and a unique dual focus ring mechanism. Included in the package is a ½-inch lens adaptor to allow use of other ½-inch lenses, plus the ability to use other optional lens adaptors for 2/3rd-inch, cinema-style and digital SLR lenses. To maximize recording time, the PMW-EX3 has two memory card slots which means with a pair of 16 GB SxS PRO memory cards, it can record up to 140 minutes of HD footage. The latest shipping version of the PMW-EX3 is called the PMW-EX3/2, which includes that latest firmware. A wide variety of accessories are also available, including a USB Reader/Writer, a wide-conversion lens, battery and charger. The PMW-EX3 HD compact camcorder is the ideal solution for a wide range of customers from broadcasters through to independent videographers and film makers who want exceptional HD picture quality and state-of-the-art workflow from an affordable semi-shoulder camcorder.

The Sony EX-3 is the big man on campus, and the big brother to the EX-1 in the prosumer cameras category. The redesigned ergonomics with pull out shoulder pad make it a better hand held camera then the EX-1. The viewfinder is very well designed and is accurate for camera settings. With an HD Broadcast approved codec, this camera is very popular with the TV world. Though it has the capability to interchange lenses, this isn't so much the "in" camera with film makers, and more of a "reality TV" choice.
