XDCAM EX1 is a member of the Cinealta Family Everyone’s favorite electronics superstore B&H is accepting pre-orders on the highly anticipated new XDCAM EX1 camcorder from Sony. B&H has it listed at $6999. For that price you get the 1/2″ 1080p variable-framerate camcorder and a single 8GB SxS media card.

You can preorder it by clicking here (all purchases made via that link directly benefit FreshDV and don’t cost you a dime extra).

And if you haven’t made up your mind about the EX1, take a look at our previous on-going coverage of the camera here.

Is there any test footage from this device online yet?
It appears this machine records to mpeg2 … does that mean it uses 4:2:2 compression/subsampling?
thanks.

It records in the XDCAM format, which is high(er) bitrate MP2 at 4:2:0. The EX! can also output 4:2:2 via the rear SDI port.

You can find a ton of links and info on the camcorder here: http://www.freshdv.com/2007/09/more-xdcam-ex-pre-launch-official-specifications.html
