Sony PMW-EX1R XDCAM EX Full HD Camcorder

  • Camcorder body w/ bag or pelican case
  • 16 GB SxS card
  • Fujinon 14x lens
  • Power Supply / Charger (2)
  • Batteries (2)
  • Operating Instructions

Sony’s PMW-EX1R XDCAM EX HD Camcorder is the impressive successor to the popular PMW-EX1. While retaining everything that was right about the previous camera, Sony has listened to its professional users and taken several steps forward, not only improving ergonomics and convenience, but bringing a whole new set of features to the world’s only full HD compact camcorder.

Like its predecessor, the PMW-EX1R’s core is its three 1/2″-type CMOS sensors and 14x Fujinon zoom lens. This heavyweight imaging combo captures full 1920 x 1080 hi-def images to solid state SxS PRO memory cards at multiple bit rates, resolutions and frame rates. Whether you’re shooting weddings, documentaries or feature films, there’s a frame rate and resolution for you–from 60fps and native 23.98p recording at 720p, to 1fps at 1080i.

But along with its already proven imaging abilities and professional workflow, the PMW-EX1R expands its usability by offering DVCAM SD recording, XDCAM HD compatibility, and HDMI output. That means no more time-consuming downconverting or transcoding to work in different formats or with different recording and playback devices. Other new features add even more convenience and flexibility, including a high-resolution 1.23MP viewfinder, Cache Record, one-click S&Q button, auto iris, and even image inversion for flipping the image while shooting with a 35mm adapter. Make no mistake: the Sony PMW-EX1R is the first HD compact camcorder that truly does have it all!

Proctor’s Take: This is a fantastic camera. Having used it in the field for documentaries, weddings, short films, web series, rest assured that you will be blown away by the results. The HD video quality is stunning! Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.
