Here’s a compilation of in depth reviews of the Sony XDCAM EX professional camcorder as well as the Letus Extreme 35mm adaptor.  This will be updated often so check back!

Videomaker: “Simply put, the images that came out of the Sony PMW-EX1 are the best HD video we’ve ever had come through our doors. While there are some concerns about the unit ergonomically, the EX1’s video performance, combined with the new SxS solid state recording system make this camcorder a strong contender in the eternal trade off of image quality versus price.”

Sony XDCAM EX-1 Review by Adam Wilt: “the PMW-EX1 has raw resolution, latitude, highlight handling, flexibility, and tweakability unmatched by anything else under $10,000″

he also said: “Its like having a baby F900″

Digital Content Producer’s XDCAM-EX Review: “Indeed, Sony has shoe-horned so much innovation into the compact PMW-EX1, it’s hard to know where to start. Individual features may parallel those of competitors, but some have no precedent, and the total synergy is unique.”

Simon Windyham is a London DP who gave the XDCAM-EX one of its first detailed reviews online: ” the camera (XDCAM-EX) is extremely well specified.”

Philip Bloom, based in London, was certainly among the first to shoot great looking footage from the XDCAM-EX1.  He often combines it with the Letus Extreme 35mm lens adaptor, but he’s also shot “clean” as well.  He’s actually a great resource for taking your XDCAM EX-1 camera work to the next level, without much work in most cases!
