Re: "Thicker" Color with EX3

[Maximilian Dandy] "'d consider to buy a Panasonic HPX 300 because of it's 2,2 Megapixel CMOS but has only 1/3" CMOS, what I have seen in big screen, movie that produced with 1/3" CCD was not sharp enough. If in digital still camera world, big Megapixel in a compact camera is useless if the lens is small, is it same in the video world?"

As far as resolution goes, side by side with the EX1, there is no difference in the resolution, so if you thought the 300 didn't have enough detail, neither will the EX1. (You didn't identify the 1/3" camera in the film out you did see but a 2.2 M pixel imager in 1/3 virtually equals the performance on the 1/2" imager.)

The lens on the hpx300 is longer than that on the EX1 as well.

And Michael sacchi is right, the AVC-Intra codec in FCP is decoder only. You could rent an AG-HPG20 and record directly to AVC-Intra, or give the HPX300 a try, you might really be surprised.
