Total score ?
(maximal 570)		475
Pros + excellent image quality
+ Manual handling
+ Exceptionally well equipped
+ LowLight behavior
+ interchangeable lens
Cons - Expensive SxS memory cards
Conclusion Thanks to its very good lens with digital CAC and outstanding low-light capabilities the Sony PMW-EX3 is momentarily unrivaled in the price range up to 10.000 Euros.Of course, those who can do without the interchangeable lens can go for the cheaper and somewhat more compact EX1.
