Thank Bob. The 7d is a great camera but not a “true” video camera. The EX-3 is an amazing all rounder…depends what you need. Take into account sound etc….

I travel with a really first rate cinematographer who uses a 700 CD cam or Red One. If I want to shoot pick up establishing shots, which camera will give me better looking video to match with these great cameras: The new Cannon 7D or the EX-3?
Watch all your videos. You have an incredible eye….just amazing looking video.

Hi there, great video, I’ve seen both your videos on the JVC 700, and the Hpx301 (300) my question is do you think they will fix the skewing on the Hpx 301 (300) and if you was buying a camera in the $10k range, which of these camera’s would you buy? The 700 or the 301 (300) Thanks Aj

Well, if anyone knows of something, would love to know about it. When sending EX footage to Avid editors in QT format (native), I get the usual Avid editor response – please may we have it on DVCAM tape. I’d hope the MP4 gets wrapped into the native Avid format.

there must be a plug in to let Avid edit .mov? Or at least to rewrap it in something…

I guess that Avid editors will want shooters to have the SxS back simply because they can get rushes in something other than QT format?

Well, the JVC is a lot cheaper and uses cheaper media and is nicer to actually use. BUT the EX3 is much better picture quality and low light

Hey Phillip. First off, big fan, you do such a great job.

Here’s my question to you. I mainly create educational DVD’s in the US. Right now, I’m using a Sony Z1U HDV camera. Looking to get into something else, tapeless.

I edit in Final Cut and I’m looking at this JVC camera and thinking how much time I’d save in logging tape.

However, I am torn between buying this JVC, or going with either the EX1 or the EX3. The EX3 is a bit higher on price, but if given a choice, which camera would you suggest? Thanks so much for any advice, you’re reviews are great!
