One was shot a month or so ago on the F350. I decided to shoot the other 4 on the EX1 as a test to see how well it performed.<\/p>\n<p>The first one I completed was filmed in the Isle of Mull in Scotland. I had with me the EX1, a miller DS20 tripod, two radio mics, a rifa 500, 3 16gb cards, 2 8gb cards, 3 big batteries, 1 small battery, petrol waterproof and my macbook pro with external hard drive to backup. Quite a light set up for me&#8230;no dolly, no 35mm adaptor, just one light, small camera, small tripod. Quite a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem I had was the weather. It was very windy and the light tripod and camera made it very hard to get good steady shots. Using the OIS helped a lot, it even worked with pans to a degree.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting with a small camera instead of a big one was the biggest challenge. I love the form factor of my F350. It&#8217;s natural to me and ergonomically perfect. I was worried about how well I could do handheld work with the EX1 and how easy it would be to focus, expose&#8230;all the normal everyday things. Thankfully the lens on the little Sony is superb, all the controls are in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link to the downsampled and compressed version. I hope to get an HD one up soon, I just don&#8217;t want to take advantage of Maxim&#8217;s generous offer of hosting. It&#8217;s a different kettle of fish to &#8220;Piccadilly Furs&#8221; but it shows how lovely the EX1 image is and has a bit of interval and 60fps recording. Very sweet, to run on Network TV on Christmas eve. The third link is part of the series I shot on the F350 for comparison. One camera cost \u00a320,000. The other cost \u00a34200.<\/p>\n<p>I will do a detailed analysis of all the pros and cons of the camera tomorrow. I will also talk about one of the parts I shot using the Letus Extreme when i got back to London. The image was so amazing and sharp. This is a clean Letus\/ex1 grab.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1044]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1232 lazyload\" title=\"rabbi\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi.jpg 651w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi-300x169.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/366;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1232\" title=\"rabbi\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi.jpg 651w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/rabbi-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/ex1-as-camera-a\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[658,282,438,662,661,310,405,659,660],"class_list":["post-1044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1044"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
