Adam WiltAdam Wilt has been working off and on in film and video for the past thirty years, while paying the bills writing software for animation, automation, broadcast graphics, and real-time control for companies including Abekas, Pinnacle, Omneon, CBS, and ABC. Since 1997 his website, adamwilt.com, has been a popular reference for information on the DV formats. He has reviewed cameras for DV Magazine and written its "Technical Difficulties" column, and taught classes and led panels at NAB, IBC, and DV Expo. He co-authored the book,"Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System", part of the Apple Pro Training series; he hopes you'll buy a copy, as there's still a large advance to be paid off.

PMW-EX1 UpdateA different PMW-EX1 has slightly different characteristics.
A few days ago I obtained a new, production-build PMW-EX1 camcorder, serial #103171. Its shipment had just arrived in the USA, so it’s a sample of what’s shipping now. While it’s 99% the same as the pre-production camera I reviewed, it has a couple of differences worth noting—having two samples gives a more rounded picture of the variations you’re likely to see in wild, free-range cameras. The analog is cleaner on the new camera, the Lens Info readout is somewhat more accurate, and the lens vignettes less. more »Whither The HVX200?Does the EX1 render the HVX200 obsolete? Don’t be too sure!
The PMW-EX1 is Sony’s answer to Panasonic’s HVX200: a variable-frame-rate, progressive-scan, multiformat HD camcorder using solid-state storage. The EX1 has higher resolution; it lets you shoot VFR in 1080p as well as in 720p; it betters the HVX slightly in both zoom range and latitude; it offers more image tweakability. Why would anyone bother with an HVX now that the EX1 is available? There are plenty of reasons: the HVX200 does a lot of things the EX1 can’t. Back away from the bulleted feature lists and the bigger picture becomes clear. Despite superficial similarities, these camera fill different niches and serve different markets. more »
