Camera Ex1 Views

General Goods

I have two Samsung DSLRs gx10 and a gx20,and can also see a place for an EX1. Would be great to carry around, especially when traveling. Also would be a lower profile for street and candid photography. Concerning camera quality so far, I have no complaints and I have features not on other main stream alternatives. Built in stabilization and water/dust protection on the Dslrs, plus other features. Lens quality is a must, so will wait a while.

Hi Leonard, according to your review: In terms of customizing buttons functions, the EX1 doesn't offer a lot. In manual exposure mode, the front dial adjusts only shutter speed and the scroll wheel controls shutter speed. This also applies even when you're shooting in shutter/aperture priority modes so u mean that in FULL MANUAL mode aperture can't be controlled? or is it a typo error. but afterall, from what i've heard aperture on PnS cameras are only controlled by ND filters, not an actual aperture. so is the camera at a constant f1.8? that might explain why the images are very soft.

It has a few worthy challengers such as the Canon PowerShot S90 and G11, but attempts at overthrowing the LX3 have been futile so far. Please Leonard, stop being an LX3 fanboy. Numerous review showed the S90 and G11 trouncing the LX3 at high ISO. Check out the G11 review at cameralabs.com, imaging-resource.com, dcresource.com, dpreview.com. It is only your super unreliable review which puts the LX3 ahead at high ISO. Wake up your idea. The zoom range for LX3 is super pathetic and definitely not useful at all. In your next review, please show some details comparison at high ISO and RAW comparison. I think Samsung is always some distant behind in terms of execution. Look at the NX10, it is quite good but some small imperfections such as lags in video and long SD write time spoils the whole experience. Hope the EX1 is different.

The cameras are the big thing in the XDCAM EX offering. The first offering is the PMW-EX1 - it's a handheld fixed-lens camera, not unlike Sony's own Z1 but it's a huge step up. The camera is branded as part of the Cinealta range alongside Sony's F23 and F900 digital cinema cameras. It features the same gamma curves and has been developed out of that end of the company, rather than the group that gave us the PD150 and Z1.
