Total score ?
(maximal 570)		459 
Pros + excellent image quality
+ Manual handling
+ Exceptionally well equipped
+ LowLight behavior
 
Cons - Expensive SxS memory cards
- jerky zoom
 
Conclusion The Sony PMW-EX1 offers an absolutely convincing technology with virtually all imaginable (and even some innovative) control options.Add to that a very good lens which thanks to a digital CAC rarely shows chromatic aberrations.The lowlight performance of the camera is currently a class for itself.
