Sony PMW-EX3 XDCAM Pro HD Camcorder + 8GB

back to High Definition > HD Cameras

The Sony PMW-EX3 is a flash-memory based high definition camcorder capable of a variety of frame rates and resolutions using Sony's new XDCAM-EX intraframe codec. A "big-brother" to the PMW-EX1, the PMW-EX3 ups the ante by providing an interchangeable lens mount. The mount allows users to put a variety of professional lenses on the camera, including 1/2" and 2/3" bayonet-mounts.

Enhancing both usability and workflow efficiency, the PMW-EX3 has an extensive set of features that push the boundaries of traditional handheld cameras, including a continuous record time of up to 140 minutes! Whether shooting in 720p, 1080i, or 1080p modes, the PMW-EX3 has it all covered. Its bevy of output settings lets users take advantage of fast and slow motion, as well as popular framerates such as the "film-like" 24p mode.

The supplied lens is a Fujinon HD 14X 5.8-81.2 f/1.9.

Includes one 8gb SxS Sony Memory Card

The PMW-EX3 builds on the success and features of the PMW-EX1 to provide users with 7 additional key features:
- Interchangeable 1/3" Zeiss lens
- Improved high resolution viewfinder (NO FLIP-OUT LCD)
- Image Invert function to allow use of 35mm lenses etc...
