Really impressive. The images looked awesome although they were using Zeiss Superspeeds and recording via HD-SDI out to HDCAM SR. I would love to have seen the actual footage from the SXS. The thing is the camera is an EX1 in a lot of it&#8217;s functions. Even the menus look the same (a good thing!) It records at 4:2:0 35mb\/s shoots the 24p\/25p\/30p at full hd, 720 50p and 60p and overcranks and undercranks in 720p mode from 1fps to 60fps. Oh, it also shoots interlaced if you want that!<\/p>\n<p>Now XDCAM EX format is awesome, I bought and EX1 as soon as it came out and now have an EX3. I have used it for countless projects, both with and without 35mm. Always rated it. You see, I am not into numbers. Yes, the less compression is better but 35mb\/s has always looked amazing to me from my EX cameras but the big HD broadcasters insist on 50mb\/s 4:2:2 for full acquisition despite the 35mb\/s being awesome. This camera does not do this. It CAN though using the uncompressed 10 bit out of the HD-SDI, the guys who made the demo film recorded to HD-CAM SR, but you don&#8217;t have to go so expensive. A Convergent Design Nano-Fash or Ki-Pro mini will do an excellent job. It is such a shame though that the camera does not have the 4:2:2 50mb\/s out of the box. It would be so much easier&#8230;I like less wires and less cumbersome rigs and that is not even getting into the extra costs. Bill Drummond from Sony explains why in my video below.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t shot with it yet so until I get the camera and shoot with it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Interviews are with <a href=\"http:\/\/macvideo.tv\">Rick Young from MacVideo.TV<\/a>, fellow Movember team member\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pauljoy.com\">Paul Joy from Pauljoy.com,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/hdwarrior.co.uk\">Philip Johnston from HDWarrior.co.uk<\/a>, Bill Drummond from Sony and the designer of the new NXCAM!

It&#8217;s AVCHD so 24mb\/s and the REALLY cool thing is it has EXACTLY the same S35 EXMOR sensor as it&#8217;s big brother the F3. Not a crappy DSLR sensor scaled down to HD like the consumer version out right now this is a dedicated 1920&#215;1080 S35 sensor, not APS-C, large pixels, meaning great in low light, ISO 800 rated. no moire, no aliasing, minimal rolling shutter. A rough release price of \u00a26000 but that could change and no idea if it includes a lens. It is the E mount system and can take Alpha lenses too (and am sure every other lens with an adaptor). One issue I picked up on straight away when talking to Sony is the EU version will be 1920&#215;1080 25p and also 1920x1080p 50 which was very surprising, this may be a mistake but if it is not it records at a higher frame rate than the F3 for less money, but not overcrank, 50p so it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net2009\/10\/04\/how-to-turn-50p-and-60p-into-slow-motion-with-cinema-tools\/\">cinema tools <\/a>to slow it down BUT to get 24p and 60p you need to buy the US version. It currently is not switchable, or currently not <em>planned<\/em> to be switchable. I told them it&#8217;s absolutely essential for it to be. As someone who like many people work in different countries having a world camera is essential. I do not want my camera tied to a region. I am certainly not going to buy two cameras to get 24p and 25p. Hopefully they will listen.<\/p>\n<p>Sony promised to let me have the F3 for a day or two soon-ish, I will chase them for this as for me there is no better test than going out and shooting with it. I would also shoot on SxS to check out the quality!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The biggest thing I wish they had done was base the design on the EX3 rather than the EX1. That EX3 viewfinder is awesome and ergonomics are less hideous. Such a shame!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11718\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11718 lazyload\" title=\"paul and myself\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/paul-and-myself.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/paul-and-myself.jpg 640w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/paul-and-myself-310x174.jpg 310w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px;

Is it an AF-100 competitor? Nope. The NX-CAM is much more going for that market and if it does it MUST be switchable as the <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net2010\/11\/11\/japanaf101\/\">AF-100 is a world camera<\/a>. If you are to compete then at least have the same if not betters specs? Certainly the sensor in the NX-CAM is going to be a MASSIVE plus.
