Total score ?
(maximal 570)		459440
Pros + excellent image quality
+ Manual handling
+ Exceptionally well equipped
+ LowLight behavior
+ Extreme manual control options
+ Very good image quality
+ Good 3D control
Cons - Expensive SxS memory cards
- jerky zoom
- No ND filter
- Autostereoscopic display mode
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.Even as a 2D camcorder the Z10000 is absolutely competitive thanks to the professional features and excellent image quality.The additional 3D capabilities are currently unique in this price range (and even much further) (as of 11/2011).
