Pros: .mov format (workflow)! Tapeless aquisition

Cons:  10x lens only (with poor zoom control).  1/4″ chips (low light).  Less physical manual controls (no iris ring).

Ron, I own HM100, and I also filmed with EX1 on some recent shots. Although HM100 produces nice picture, but is a far cry as far as “pro” camera. Although they use a Porsche engine (XD CAM codec), but the body is more of the crappy beater car. The shutter/ aperture control is a joke, you can place a filter on a lens, no safe shooting area marking on the display, not even 1/120s shutter for 720/60 shooting- just basic. The zoom is by far the worst- much worst then any consumer camcorder I ever used. For 3500 it should have been a much better product.
