Re: Camera Choices

I think your choices are good ones. Both are professional cameras and offer professional tools to get a fairly high-end product.

The pros and cons you weighed are the same ones (I think) everyone has been weighing. In my opinion, based on what type of projects you want to produce, I would go with the EX1 or EX3 (if you can afford it). The reasons are simple: 1/2 chip vs. 1/3 chip, and full-raster vs. pixel shifting.

One other thing I would throw out there: content IS the most important factor, but don't go cheap on the sound. As someone I know once said, "good video with bad audio is bad video". If people can't hear or understand the dialog, the picture quality won't matter anyway.
