The Sony PMW-EX3/2 XDCAM EX Camcorder, follows on from the hugely popular PMW-EX1.
The EX3/2 offers all the great features of the EX1 plus more. The semi shoulder
design makes handling this camcorder much easier and the interchangeable lens,
genlock, timecode and remote control capability make it a superb low cost HD studio
solution.

The PMW-EX3 combines a state-of-the-art, non-linear XDCAM workflow with simply the
best HD quality yet seen in a semi-shoulder camcorder. It is also the first semi-
shoulder camcorder to carry the legendary CineAlta 24P brand with multiple frame rate
recording capability such as 59.94i, 50i, and native 23.98P, as well being 1080i/720P
switchable.

Like the Sony PMW-EX1, the Sony EX3 allows you to choose between the High Quality
mode 35Mb/s, or a HDV 1080i compatible 25Mb/s mode. To take advantage of this high
performance recording capability, the EX3 uses the same imaging system as the PMW-
EX1, again taking advantage of three ½-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective
pixel count of 1920x1080.

The feature that really stands out on the PMW EX3 though is the interchangeable
Fujinon Professional HD lens ½-inch 14x lens with its unique dual focus ring
mechanism. Included in the package is a ½-inch lens adaptor to allow use of other ½-
inch lenses, plus the ability to use other optional lens adaptors for 2/3rd-inch,
cinema-style and digital SLR lenses.

To maximise recording time, the PMW-EX3 has two memory card slots which means with a
pair of 16 GB SxS PRO memory cards, it can record up to 140 minutes of HD footage.

The recording time is measured as:

HQ mode - 25 mins per 8GB
SQ mode - 35 mins per 8GB

A wide variety of accessories are also available, including a USB Reader/Writer, a
wide-conversion lens, battery and charger.



The PMW-EX3 HD really is a compact and afoordable solution for a wide range of users.
All these features give you incredible HD shooting and a fast non linear workflow.
