Nov 18, 2008 - If you check out our home page, which i cannot type here because youtube does not allow links, i have posted a link below this video that has a great article describing the intricacies of these two types of image sensors.

Nov 18, 2008 - You've probably figured this out, but you can put your web address in the video description. And for comments people usually do shirtlessapprentice(dot)com.

Nov 18, 2008 - I picked one of these bad boys up. My biggest complaints are the lack of HDMI, the expense of the SxS cards relative to other flash media, the fact that the mp4 files do not play natively on the ps3, and the lack of hdmi! The colors and clarity are amazing though.
shirtlessapprentice Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Just to ask, are there any cameras that have a full quality HDMI out?

Nov 18, 2008 - so this is a MPEG 2 cam,and sony created the MPEG4 H.264 format,i thought this MPEG4 H.264 will lead the future and replace MPEG2,so what is going on now?
shirtlessapprentice Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Well from my knowledge of H.264, it is far from ready to be a shootable format, it takes a huge amount of processing power and has a very complicated algorithm. This has slowed its ability to be adopted in mainstream use the way it would have had it not been so complex.

Nov 18, 2008 - thank you for your answer,another question:the color sampling of almost all of the prosumer cam is 4:2:2,as i know,4:2:2 is better than 4:2:0,so why the color sampling of EX1 is 4:2:0 ?

Nov 18, 2008 - This was to save space on the cards and keep down the bitrate while sacrificing very little on the image end. Not many prosumer cameras that i know of shoot 1080 and are 4:2:2. The HVX does shoot that way, but does not have nearly the amount of pixels on the image sensor as an EX1. If you find a side by side comparison let me know. Also, you can get 4:2:2 out of the EX1 if you use the SDI output!

Nov 18, 2008 - Hi Nice footage. I own a HVX200 and am thinking I am going to sell it as it just produces so much noise and grain in the image no matter what I do to fight it with light. i was wondering how well the PMW-EX1 is with grain and noise in the image, especially in dark shots? Thanks.

Nov 18, 2008 - did anyone think the black guy made the video?!
Jon124 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I'm getting an ex1 in a couple weeks, that's how I found this video. After I had a good lol, I proceeded to watch every single video of you guys. The comedy is great, I'm wondering if I'm the only one that actually gets the acting. Keep it up
shirtlessapprentice Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Thanks Jon, let me know how you like the camera when you pick it up!
Jon124 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - will do. When are you guys gunna get some more vids up? Can't wait
sexydanny21awesome Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Wait a seconded do you need the SONY PMW-EX30 XDCAM EX Recording Deck to use this camera or does the footage go in the computer from firewire
shirtlessapprentice Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - You can use the camera to load footage, but a better bet would be to use your Mac Book Pro or buy a cheap express card reader!
tolstoymex Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - what is a mac book pro? and card reader?

Nov 18, 2008 - Very funny! I am getting mine today! This is how reviews should be done -- very creative and entertaining. My man has a bit of a Tracy Morgan styled comedic mannerism, but he's funny none-the-less.
